As the popularity of memecoins has increased recently, fraudsters are taking advantage of this "opportunity". Blockchain researcher ZachXBT posted on his X that at least 12 Solana memecoins have been “abandoned” in the last 30 days after investors raised $26.7 million.

He identified 12 projects that raised funds through pre-sales, most of which dropped significantly after launch and one that did not issue any tokens at all.
