Elon Musk’s decision to ditch the playful moniker “Harry Bōlz” has led to a significant drop in Solana-based meme coins, particularly those tied to his X account name.
The move has sent shockwaves through the meme coin market, with tokens linked to Musk’s brief foray into the “Harry Bōlz” identity plummeting in value.
Musk, known for his ability to sway markets with his tweets and actions, had teased the “Harry Bōlz” name on social media in April 2023. However, following his abandonment of the name, Solana meme coins closely associated with it suffered a major setback.
In typical Musk fashion, he tweeted: “Tbh, I’m just hoping a media org that takes itself way too seriously writes a story about Harry Bōlz…” further highlighting the tongue-in-cheek nature of his actions.
Impact on Meme Coin Market
The sudden crash of Solana meme coins serves as a reminder of the volatility and speculative nature of the meme coin market, where celebrity endorsements and offhand comments can lead to dramatic price shifts.
Musk’s influence remains a major force in the world of crypto and meme coins, leaving many investors hoping that his next move won’t cause further chaos in the market.
