$ANSEM Memecoin Is Up Nearly 5x In The Past Week — @BlackBullSol Leads Solana Memecoin Surge

The Solana memecoin market has roared back to life, with @BlackBullSol's $ANSEM token — officially called The Black Bull — posting extraordinary gains over the past week. According to CoinMarketCap data cited by @BSCNews, the token has surged more than 822,600% over the past month, and is up nearly 5x in the past week alone.

The $ANSEM Story: Influencer Name, Anonymous Creator

$ANSEM is a Solana memecoin launched on Pump.fun in mid-June 2026, tied to influencer Ansem (Zion Thomas, @blknoiz06), who has nearly 1 million followers. It is not officially created or endorsed by Ansem as a personal token. An anonymous developer launched it and sent a large share to his wallet, and several rival $ANSEM tokens appeared at once.

A deployer wallet launched the dominant "Black Bull" token on Pump.fun around June 17, 2026, spending about $6,300 to create it, then transferred 650 million tokens to Ansem's wallet. The real catalyst came on June 28, 2026, when Ansem criticized Pump.fun's reward structure and pledged to airdrop his creator fees to traders. Ansem airdropped roughly $7 million worth of the $ANSEM memecoin to Solana users in a distribution campaign that unfolded between June 27 and June 29, representing one of the largest influencer-driven token giveaways in recent memory. The goal: grow the $ANSEM holder base from approximately 25,000 wallets to 1 million.

The Black Bull is currently priced at $0.2918, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $67.5 million. Despite a 17% pullback in the past 24 hours, it remains up more than 2,575% over seven days, with a circulating market cap above $121 million. Traders should note that according to Rugcheck.xyz, there is a risk of market manipulation due to a large concentration of tokens held in one or more unidentified wallets.

For most of the first half of 2026, the prevailing narrative around Solana memecoins was that the party was over. Volumes had cratered from their manic peaks and launchpads were consolidating. Then, in roughly ten days in late June, $ANSEM went vertical, Solana's daily token launches hit an 80-day high, and SOL itself caught a bid on the back of renewed ecosystem activity.

Beyond $ANSEM: $SNEK and $M Also See Positive Action

The current wave of memecoin activity is not limited to Solana. @snek's $SNEK on @Cardano $ADA has also been posting gains. Snek is a community-oriented meme coin and cultural movement established as a leading digital asset within the Cardano ecosystem, designed to foster community engagement through a brand-centric approach, with a fair launch model where no tokens were reserved for the development team or private venture capital. SNEK is the most traded token on Cardano, and like $ANSEM, its price action is tightly linked to broader memecoin sentiment and ecosystem momentum.

@MemeCore_M's $M token is also among the assets seeing positive price action in the current environment, adding to the sense that speculative interest is returning across multiple chains simultaneously.

As with all memecoins, the risks are considerable. $ANSEM has no product, team, or revenue, and its value depends entirely on attention and one influencer's involvement, with heavy supply concentration flagged by on-chain analysts. Participants should size positions accordingly.
