Solana meme coin ANSEM tops $160 million market cap as KOL-themed token narrative broadens

ANSEM, a Solana ecosystem meme coin, briefly pushed its market capitalization above $170 million late on June 30 before standing at about $130 million, according to GMGN data, extending the token’s rapid rise as KOL- and celebrity-themed trading activity spread across the network. The move came as Dune data showed daily new token issuance on Solana reached an 80-day high on July 1 and the number of tokens graduating also climbed sharply, pointing to a broader pickup in launch activity rather than a single-token spike. Attention had already turned to TJR, another token created by the same developer and linked by the market to trader TJRTrades, which briefly exceeded a $28 million market cap before retreating to about $11 million while posting $22.2 million in 24-hour volume. Separately, a report said a coin tied to @blknoiz06 appeared to help reignite the same theme, and that another Solana-based token identified as solana:4U4U8oXwDyVXGeTffMXds4NAgBgLFwq3wNvTCRTSpump climbed to a $13 million market capitalization. Together, the jump in issuance, token graduations and ANSEM’s surge suggest renewed speculative interest on Solana, even as a growing wave of imitators could fragment liquidity and attention.
