As the presidential elections approach, the likelihood that these tokens will see more growth is very high. However, after the event, the token’s prices may collapse.
Memecoins are highly susceptible to rug pulling and holders should be careful with these tokens. Holders and traders should hedge their bets if they decide to invest in these tokens.
L1 networks win
Even though some holders may end up winning or losing money, Solana [SOL] and ether [ETH] can achieve a positive return anyway.
The hype surrounding these tokens on both Solana and Ethereum could contribute to an increase in activity on both networks. The networks have also seen a huge increase in activity in recent months.
According to Artemis data, the number of daily active addresses on Solana has increased from 214,000 to 624,000 over the past three months.
Solana previously lagged behind Ethereum in this regard, but at the time of writing, Solana had outperformed Ethereum by a wide margin. At the time of writing, the number of daily active addresses on the Ethereum network stood at 357,000.
