Summary

Solana ecosystem meme coin ANSEM briefly surpassed a $350 million market capitalization before retreating to about $300 million after Ansem, co-founder of Solana social trading platform BullpenFi, launched the token's official airdrop claim page. GMGN data showed ANSEM up 75.6% over 24 hours, with trading volume reaching $68 million. Ansem said users holding some ANSEM, remaining active on X, and linking accounts to BullpenFi may qualify for future airdrops, with weighting tied to holdings, posting volume and exposure. The move extends a rapid rally that had already pushed the token through earlier milestones above $180 million, $190 million, $200 million, $250 million and later $340 million. Earlier source details said crypto KOL Ansem initially received 65% of total supply and later airdropped 6.6%, while Arkham said he still holds 58% of the coin and is up $146 million on paper. The surge underlines both the speed of speculative flows in Solana meme coins and the extra sensitivity created by concentrated ownership.
