Fact Check
The primary source attributed in the claim — Odaily citing GMGN data — directly supports every detail: LUKE surged over 24,000% intraday to a record ~$10.4 million market cap (Odaily newsflash 496139). A separate Odaily newsflash (496118) corroborates the same intraday event at an earlier stage (~$8M, +19,000%), consistent with the reported trajectory. The only caveat is that no fully independent third-party source confirms the figures, which is normal for a same-day, sentiment-driven meme-coin event; the underlying data (GMGN) and reporter (Odaily) are exactly those named in the claim, and all numbers match.
Summary
Solana ecosystem meme token LUKE briefly pushed its market capitalization above $15 million to a record high before trading at about $14 million, according to GMGN market data cited by Odaily. The token was up more than 39,000% on the day. Odaily said meme coins are highly volatile because prices are driven mainly by market sentiment and speculation, warning investors to pay attention to the risks.
