BitMEX's Arthur Hayes has once again promoted a Solana-based memecoin to his followers, triggering a surge in its price.
In a recent post on X, Hayes shared the Dextool profile of the FlowerAI (FLOWER) meme coin, using the phrase “kek,” which led to an immediate rally. At the time of the post, FLOWER was priced at $0.02232, but the coin’s value quickly spiked above $0.03, boosting its market capitalization from $22 million to $30 million.

Accusations of manipulating the market for personal gain have also emerged, with detractors suggesting he is attempting to pump and dump the asset on his followers. Hayes has previously promoted other Solana meme coins, including Dogwifhat (WIF) and Solana AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), in addition to investing in lesser-known tokens like MOTHER and MOG.

The rising demand for these tokens has contributed to Solana’s all-time high price of $263 and propelled it to lead other blockchains, including Ethereum, in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume.
The recent launch of the TOKEN6900 (T6900) meme coin presale is a refreshing sight in a market oversaturated with presales focused on providing utility. Token6900 returns to the roots of meme coins, offering no utility. This is precisely what makes it appealing to those seeking a high-risk, high-reward asset to stockpile. Marketed as the world’s […]
