GFOX presale aims at $6m, as SLERF’s $10m disaster draws reactions

As the GFOX presale aims for the $6 million mark,  SLERF, one of Solana’s latest blockchains is in the news this week following a $10m disaster. 

The recently launched token is in the spotlight for an “accidental” burn of nearly 50% of its total token supply. The incident has raised questions on the motive of the token creators and the “accidental burn,” with some calling it an ingenious 4D chess marketing scheme to bring hype to the token launch.

Amidst the SLERF saga, ERC-20 meme token GFOX has been making waves with its meteoric rise. This hybrid memecoin has already achieved a staggering $6 million in sales, setting a new benchmark for the potential of memecoin in 2024. As the crypto world watches these two tokens unfold, it’s clear that Solana’s ecosystem is brimming with multiple investment opportunities.

SLERF’s $10 million disaster

SLERF is a sloth-themed meme coin that made headlines on March 18 when the anonymous developer claimed to have accidentally sent the presale funds to a burn address. This resulted in the loss of nearly 50% of the token’s supply and the $10 million allocated to presale participants.

The developer publicly acknowledged the error on X (formerly Twitter) around 9:00 a.m. on March 18, explained what happened, and expressed deep regret about the incident. The anonymous developer was also quick to apologize, explaining that there is no way to further mint the tokens since the minting authority has been revoked by the token’s contract. The liquidity provider and tokens allocated for the airdrop were also burned.

Despite the developer’s apology, some investors are taking advantage of the situation. Market data revealed the price of SLERF increased drastically after the burn with some investors buying more SLERF tokens with their Solana holdings. This has further increased the demand for and price of the new memecoin. It was reported on X that a whale wallet had realized over $3 million in profits within 12 minutes of buying SLERF. The report suggested that the whale spent $1.98 million worth of SOL to buy 69.74 million SLERF and sold them for $5 million.

In solidarity with the anonymous developer, some crypto exchanges have pledged their support for SLERF. HTX, Bitget, and BingX have announced plans to donate trading fees to traders who participated in the non-public sale of SLERF on their platforms. These announcements were made publicly on X, as the exchanges showed their support for the SLERF community.

The accidental burn has sparked a debate in the crypto community. Some investors believe the “accidental burn” is a marketing scheme to gain the attention of investors and increase the token’s price, while others believe that the developer’s acknowledgment and apology are indications that the burn was accidental. Since the token’s price surged after the developer’s post on X, the former stance appears to be more viable. While investors are still curious as to the motive for the “accidental burn,” GFOX has continued on its steady price rise as it approaches $6 million.
