The SafeMoon team has announced plans to launch a new memecoin on the Solana $132 (SOL) platform. This launch will occur in a coordinated manner, with various arrangements for token holders being prepared as part of the process.
New Token Launch and Approaches
The VGX Foundation reported that a total of 2.2 trillion SFM tokens have been burned across Ethereum $1,898, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain networks. Almost all tokens on Ethereum and Polygon networks, and approximately 60% of those on Binance Smart Chain, have been removed from circulation. These actions are viewed as part of the project team’s preparations for the new memecoin launch.
SFM token holders will have the opportunity to exchange their existing tokens for the new memecoin, utilizing the VGX wallet for the transaction.
According to a VGX representative: “We will offer the option to swap tokens to allow the community to exit their positions.”
This statement emphasizes the arrangement that will enable the community to exit their current situation.
Market Status and Past Developments
SafeMoon gained significant popularity in 2021, reaching a peak market value of around 17 billion dollars, but currently sits at approximately 41 million dollars. This decline indicates that the token has been withdrawn from nearly all exchanges.
The former management team was accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of conducting fraudulent transactions towards investors. Allegedly, over 200 million dollars were withdrawn from what were believed to be locked funds, used to purchase luxury items. After filing for bankruptcy in December 2023, the VGX Foundation took over the project.
The upcoming memecoin launch is seen as an opportunity for token holders to re-enter the market and increase liquidity. The planned process and token swap could allow investors to recover some of their funds, marking a significant step in terms of market dynamics.
This move by the SafeMoon team may inspire hope for recovery after previous setbacks and encourage community members to reassess their exit strategies. Keeping a close watch on developments can provide beneficial insights for stakeholders.
