Solana Meme Mania Continues: $TJR Rallies 20x Overnight
After $ANSEM soared 600x in 24 hours, the Solana meme market shows no signs of cooling. This morning, $TJR became the latest sensation, surging from a market cap of ~$1.6M to a peak of $28M—a gain of over 20x. $TJR is promoted by well-known KOL TJR (@_TJRTrades), who has 250K followers on X but over 1.5 million each on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Initially committed to helping Ansem expand content reach to TikTok, TJR purchased $100K worth of $ANSEM and actively shilled. This morning, he tweeted 'Should I enter?' and later confirmed his involvement by indicating a potential airdrop, triggering a FOMO wave. The same deployer behind $ANSEM created $TJR, sending 79% of supply directly to TJR’s wallet.
Deployer’s Mass Token Creation: 101 Tokens in 7 Days, Profit $6.08M
According to GMGN monitoring, the deployer address first created $ANSEM 13 days ago, selling for a net profit of $5,500. Over the next 7 days, he engaged in high-frequency token creation, minting 101 different meme coins—most based on celebrities with existing fan bases. Among these, 12 tokens reached peak market caps above $1M, and 3 exceeded $10M. In 7 days, his book profit reached 82,000 SOL (≈$6.08M). The deployer fee from a few high-cap tokens alone contributed $193K; 30-day total profit hit $8.77M.
Derivative Tokens and an Accidental Burn: $TESTIBULL and $dog
Variants also performed well. $TESTIBULL, a spin-off from $TESTICLE (a testicle-themed meme), gained traction when KOL Dip Wheeler (@DipWheeler)—famous for his large gains on Fartcoin—announced an airdrop for $TESTIBULL. The token rocketed from a $40K low to nearly $5M. Meanwhile, $dog was intended to replicate the success of $WIF by sending tokens to Ansem. However, the deployer accidentally sent the tokens to a dead address (burn wallet), creating a dramatic effect reminiscent of $SLERF. This unintentional burn fueled FOMO, pushing $dog’s market cap briefly above $8M.
Three Core Drivers: Hunger, Fear of Missing Out, and the ‘VC-ification’ of Meme Coins
First, the market has been starved for action. The Solana meme ecosystem has lacked billion-dollar tokens for months; $ANSEM broke that threshold but with heavy concentration in Ansem’s hands. Second, severe FOMO from missed opportunities: most traders sold $ANSEM too early or completely missed the rally, and that pent-up demand exploded into $TJR. Third, meme coins are undergoing a 'VC-ification'. With centralized exchanges effectively closing the door to new meme listings and market makers reluctant to pump, fairness is no longer about distribution equality but about the chance to bet on high-odds plays at low market caps. Influencers now play the role that VCs once did—providing liquidity through their attention, endorsement, and community consensus. This trend was visible during the TRUMP token launch, and the success of $ANSEM and $TJR has lured back many 'degens' who had left the space. They are now pre-positioning in potential celebrity tokens from other KOLs (e.g., bonkguy, him). Whether the rally sustains hinges on $ANSEM’s ability to reach new highs; otherwise, enthusiasm could evaporate quickly.
