DefiTuna co-founder Moty Povolotski has alleged that Kelsier Ventures, Meteora, and M3M3 coordinated a series of meme coin launches on Solana to extract $200 million in profits at the expense of unsuspecting investors. In a series of tweets on Feb. 17, Moty revealed that Kelsier Ventures had invested $30,000 in DefiTuna last month, but upon discovering Kelsier’s activities, DefiTuna refunded the investment and severed all ties. Kelsier Ventures, led by CEO Hayden Davis, is a key entity in the Libra token launch. In a recent interview with Coffeezilla, Hayden admitted that the team sniped during the Libra token launch. “I have personally gone the extra mile by risking myself and everything we built over at DefiTuna to try and get key players to speak up and start naming the bad actors and weeding them out,” the DefiTuna founder stated. The founder disclosed the existence of “a massive spiderweb of influencers who are banking millions from the Meteora community enabled by the leadership team of Ben.” According to Moty, Ben, or Ben Chow, planned to resign after the Libra scandal. A video obtained by SolanaFloor and later quoted by Moty shows that he told Ben about Hayden’s alleged meme coin misconduct. Ben appeared to be surprised by the news, denied any involvement by himself or Meteora, and said he regretted connecting Hayden with other projects. Following Moty’s tweets and the footage, Meow, the pseudonymous co-founder of Jupiter DEX, announced that Ben resigned from his role at Meteora. Meow strongly denied any involvement of Jupiter or Meteora in insider trading, financial wrongdoing, or inappropriate token distribution. According to the evidence shared with SolanaFloor, Kelsier approached DefiTuna through a Lebanon-based employee to provide liquidity for M3M3, a platform allegedly owned by Chow. Projects launching on M3M3 were allegedly required to allocate a portion of the token supply to Kelsier’s group, as detailed by Moty. Screenshots indicate that $2.4 million was extracted from community members through the MATES and AIAI token launches, with both tokens dropping 95% since launch. In the Melania meme token case, Kelsier provided DefiTuna with 1% of the total supply, worth $100 million at peak, requesting an anonymous sale through Orca LP tokens as NFTs to avoid on-chain tracking. Hayden, however, told Coffeezilla that his team did not profit from the Melania token launch. When questioned about Kelsier’s total profits from M3M3, Moty stated: “Like if you take into account AIAI + MATES + ENRON + Bunch of other projects … + Melania + LIBRA…over 200M? And there are plenty more projects.”

Solana DEX’s trading volume dropped to $2.61 billion on February 16, continuing its downward trajectory and reaching its lowest level since mid-December. While Raydium’s volume plunged by over 45% and Orca’s fell by nearly 30% in the past week, Meteora bucked the trend with an 18% increase. According to the data compiled by DeFiLlama, Solana’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs) saw around $20.2 billion in trading volume for the week ending February 16, continuing a five-week decline. The leading Layer 1 solution’s on-chain transaction volume dropped by 28% in the previous week as it hit $31.8 billion by February 10th. The decreasing activity on Solana DEXs aligns with a broader market downturn. Meteora reported the most activity as the top DEX with a volume of $658 million, closely following Raydium at $836.37 million. Orca is in the third spot with $544.4 million. The drop in Solana’s DEX volume is also partly due to the fading enthusiasm for meme coin trading, which had surged since the start of the bull run. With numerous meme coins emerging and disappearing, traders appear to be growing weary of the repeated pump-and-dump cycles, rug pulls, and instances of insider trading. A similar sentiment was echoed by CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Junior, who said that meme coins are negatively affecting the Solana ecosystem, with recent events further shaking investor confidence. A major rug pull involving LIBRA has intensified concerns, contributing to SOL’s decline – falling by more than 10% in the past week and down 40% from its peak in January. Adding to market pressures, 11.2 million SOL will be unlocked on March 1. These tokens were initially sold off during FTX’s bankruptcy and later acquired by firms like Galaxy, Pantera, and Figure.
