Solana memecoins, the last 24 hours: November 12, 2026

The short answer

It was a busy day, and one story ran through it. News about Nvidia's chief executive broke in three steps over 24 hours, and each step shows on the chain as a wall of new coins within seconds. 2,921 of the day's 47,776 launches carry his name.

Under the story, the market looked the way it did in our report two days earlier. About half the dollars moved in a small group of coins whose trades are far larger than anyone else's. The crowd traded elsewhere, in small sizes, and three new coins held that crowd from their launch to the close.

One name, 2,921 coins

We counted every coin launched in the window whose name or ticker says Jensen, Huang, Nvidia or NVDA. There are 2,921, made by 1,849 wallets; 2,501 are on pump.fun. Together they traded $88.3 million; the 2,501 on pump.fun account for $15.2 million of it. 70 of them passed $100,000 traded, and Anceta's tracker has marked 283 as rugged so far.

The name was not new that day. From November 10 to the start of this window we had already recorded 494 such coins, 137 of them in the single hour from 19:00 UTC on November 10. This window holds the day the news was confirmed.

The chart is quiet for about twelve hours and loud three times. Each loud stretch starts around a post on X.

Three posts, three bursts

The report. At 22:28:17 UTC on November 11, an account that relays market headlines posted: “NVIDIA IS PREPARING TO OUST NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG: WSJ”. That is the post's wording, crediting the Wall Street Journal; we did not read the Journal's article. 5.5 seconds later the first coin linking that post existed. In the next hour 278 coins with the name were launched.

Something else happened in that hour. The first coin named after Colette Kress, Nvidia's finance chief, was created at 22:29:34 UTC, 77 seconds after the post. By the close there were 150 coins with her name and 45 with the name of another Nvidia executive, Ian Buck. Nvidia named her interim chief executive the next day.

The resignation. At 13:51:01 UTC on November 12, Kalshi posted: “JUST IN: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns”. Nvidia's own release, dated the same day, says he resigned as president, chief executive and board member, effective immediately. The first coin linking Kalshi's post was created 7.6 seconds after it. In the hour before, 17 coins with the name had launched. In the hour after, 380.

The follow-up. At 19:30:08 UTC, Watcher.Guru relayed a further report about him, credited to Reuters. The hour after it is the busiest of the three: 423 coins, with 62 in a single minute.

One number in that figure needs care. 501 coins link Kalshi's post, more than link any other post of the day. Only 10 of them are about the news: they carry a play on his name, and the first of them is the coin created 7.6 seconds after the post. The other 491 share one name that has nothing to do with it. 182 wallets launched them between 13:58 and 14:37 UTC.

A link in a coin's details is typed by whoever creates the coin, so a busy post can be borrowed by coins that have nothing to do with it. It says nothing about the account that wrote the post.

How fast a post becomes a coin

The three posts are not special. Of the 47,776 coins launched in the window, 20,017 link a post on X, 6,770 different posts in all. 849 posts are linked by five or more coins, 324 by ten or more, and 23 by fifty or more.

The top row is the borrowed link from the section above: 491 of its 501 coins share one unrelated name. One other row is a single wallet that linked the same post from 81 coins.

For a post's time we use the time X itself stamps into the post's number, to the millisecond. For a coin's time, the moment Anceta saw it created. The gap between the two is how long the post waited.

We took every post made inside the window and linked by ten or more coins: 264 posts. For half of them the first coin came within 7.3 seconds. For 157 it came within 10 seconds, for 230 within a minute, and for 251 within five minutes.

Seven seconds is less time than it takes to read a post and fill in a launch form. We read these as coins made by software that watches accounts and launches from what they post. By the time a reader has opened the post, coins made from it already exist.

The day's tape

Trading barely slept. No hour fell below $36 million, and the day ended higher than it began. Launches fell to 1,423 in the quietest hour and peaked at 2,970 in the 20:00 hour, the first full hour after the follow-up post.

The day's 47,776 coins came from 19,769 creator wallets. 314 of those wallets launched 20 coins or more each, 19,452 between them: 41% of all launches from 1.6% of the wallets. The busiest launched 459.

Launchpads by the hour

pump.fun made 40,833 of the launches, 85%. The rest spread over Meteora, PumpSwap pools made with no launchpad at all, and a long tail of small launchpads.

Where the dollars went

$1,077,813,603 was traded across 58,752 coins in 17,295,140 trades. The ten most traded coins took 17% of it and the hundred most traded 57.9%. 148 coins passed $1 million and 1,035 passed $100,000.

The amber part is the one to read carefully. 140 coins launched in the window carried $543.1 million, 50.4% of everything, in 1,225,824 trades. Their average trade was $443; everything else averaged $33.3. We set these coins apart by a cut-off we keep private, we count them, and we do not name them or rank anything by them. Every total on this page includes them, so the headline dollar figure says more about them than about the crowd.

The crowd shows in the teal part: 35,496 pump.fun coins of the day, 9,880,901 trades, $16.1 at a time. 8 of those coins passed $1 million, 264 passed $100,000 and 1,974 passed $10,000.

From launch to graduation

More than half of the day's pump.fun coins did not have three holders ten minutes after launch. Of the 19,901 that did, Anceta's tracker has marked 6,363 as rugged so far, 32%, and 663 left the launch curve.

Graduating is not the end of the story. Counting every pump.fun coin of the window that graduated inside it, there are 697; 520 of them have since been marked rugged, 68 are marked as survivors, and 109 are still open. The middle graduation came 3.1 minutes after launch.

Three launches that held up

For this part we look for the opposite of everything above. A coin is shown here only if its creator wallet had never made a coin before, its launch block held none of the supply one minute in, its creator bought none and sold none, its trades are the size a crowd makes, it traded in every hour since launch, and it was still trading on chain when we checked at 22:38 UTC. We also look at its picture before showing it.

Three coins passed. Three others met the numbers and were left out because their pictures show real people's faces. The names below are the coins' own.

It links an X account of its own. Its launch block was empty from the first read, and it left its launch curve 34.6 minutes after launch.

This is a description of how three coins launched and traded for a day. It is not a forecast, and a clean launch can still end badly. Pattern analysis, not financial advice. Similar coins can behave differently.
