The meme‑coin boom of 2024–25, fueled by FOMO, influencer hype, and unrealistic promises, triggered many rug pulls—creators emptied liquidity pools, leaving late participants with zero value. Some projects collapsed overnight, wiping out millions.
Why it’s risky
Illiquid tokens are prime targets for dump schemes.
Investors driven by quick gains fall as soon as creators sell out.
