LIBRA’s Collapse and Its Impact on Solana

The recent collapse of the Solana-based meme coin LIBRA has had a significant impact on the Solana ecosystem and the meme coin market as a whole. The token crashed by 95% in the first few hours after its launch, resulting in a $4.4 billion decline in market cap.

The collapse of LIBRA also led to a decline in Solana’s liquidity, with outflows spiking from $12.1 billion to $8.29 billion. Additionally, Solana experienced a 15% drop in value, as many investors began to doubt the future issuance and sustainability of trading meme coins.
