Solana's OG Meme Coin WOULD Surges Past $1 Billion Market Cap Briefly, Currently Trading at $85 Million

On Jan 4, GMGN monitoring data shows that meme coin WOULD on the Solana blockchain hit a peak market cap of over $110 million at noon. It has since retraced slightly to $85 million, with a current price of roughly $0.085—representing a nearly 80% gain in the past 24 hours. The token has been climbing since Jan 2, accumulating a total return of 223.5%. Monitoring shows that at 3 PM yesterday, the address with the largest 24-hour buy order (6kuz) purchased around 1.23 million WOULD tokens at an average price of $0.056 to chase the rally. It now holds an unrealized gain of 50%. This meme coin was created by WouldCoinDev on Twitter, stemming from a humorous tweet about Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. After Elon Musk tweeted “I love this meme” and shared the meme, the price surged sharply—at one point hitting a peak market cap of $700 million. The token has been live for 529 days. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily influenced by market sentiment and meme trends, and lacks actual value or use cases. Investors should exercise caution amid these risks.
