According to @ai_9684xtpa, the MIKAMI meme coin presale concluded at 11:00 AM, raising a total of 23,333 SOL (valued at $3.47 million) within 72 hours. Compared to the previous major Solana meme coin presale PAIN, which raised 185,976 SOL, MIKAMI's scale was significantly smaller, but still strong given current market conditions (source: @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter). Data from @1999_eth shows that 77% of participants contributed 0-1 SOL and 19.6% contributed 1-10 SOL, indicating broad retail participation. For traders, this suggests high community involvement and potential post-listing volatility due to the large base of small holders (source: @1999_eth dashboard).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, the market is experiencing increasing 'air pockets' due to sentiment shifts, where large institutional investors significantly impact prices. Solana, as a smaller asset, is witnessing extreme volatility driven by substantial retail participation.

According to The Kobeissi Letter, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing increased volatility due to 'air pockets,' where sudden shifts in sentiment can lead to significant price changes. Large institutional investors play a critical role in these price movements. Additionally, smaller assets like Solana are witnessing extreme volatility due to high levels of retail investor participation.

According to @intotheblock, there is a focus on the potential for Solana's retail segment to integrate more fully with broader market trends, which could impact trading volumes and liquidity in the cryptocurrency sector.
