In a separate incident, President Donald Trump's promotion of a Solana-based meme coin named FAFO Barron led to a 250% price surge within hours. However, the price quickly plummeted afterward. The Pump.fun platform on Solana has been criticized for allowing the creation of meme coins that often result in rug-pull scams, leading to investor losses.
