Kimchi, a meme coin on Solana, briefly reached a market capitalization of $40 million yesterday before sliding to $21.51 million, leaving it down by more than 50% from its peak. Odaily reported that one whale put in $144,000 when the token’s market cap stood at $33.7 million and is now sitting on an unrealized loss of more than $50,000. The token was inspired by influencer trader Kimchi, whose X account is @kimchi1x. Kimchi currently holds 75.32% of the meme coin’s total supply. The move highlights how quickly valuations in the Solana meme coin segment can reverse after a sharp run-up, with large holders exposed to steep paper losses in a short period.
