A Group of On-Chain Players Who Didn't Watch the World Cup Made a Fortune on ANSEM
A group of cryptocurrency traders who weren't focused on the FIFA World Cup prediction markets found massive gains in a Solana-based meme coin called ANSEM. Within less than a day, the coin's market cap skyrocketed from around $4 million to over $100 million, peaking near $97 million.
The token is not officially created or endorsed by the prominent Solana influencer and KOL known as Ansem (Zion Thomas). However, its name and the fact that approximately 65% of its total supply was sent to Ansem's public wallet created a strong associative link in the community.
The major price surge was triggered when Ansem publicly stated he had no plans to launch a personal token but would instead redistribute the creator fees earned from his Pump.fun profile as weekly random airdrops to followers. This announcement resonated deeply with a market feeling disappointed by the delayed PUMP token airdrop, framing ANSEM as the vehicle for "Ansem's airdrop."
The explosive move, including a 135x gain for one early buyer, has reignited discussions and excitement around Solana meme coins. However, the summary cautions that ANSEM's rise is primarily driven by market sentiment, community narrative, and a relatively low circulating supply, making it highly volatile and dependent on sustained social engagement.
