Dad Livestreams Birth of Baby 'Solana' to Pump Meme Coin—Then It Got Weird
In Washington D.C., a couple welcomed their daughter Solana via a live stream on Pump.fun, coinciding with the launch of the PREGOWIFE meme coin. The father wanted to create a historic moment, tokenizing his daughter as SOLBABY. During the livestream, viewers experienced the labor, with confusion and excitement in the chat, culminating in the birth. However, after the birth, the PREGOWIFE token's market cap plummeted 89%, raising suspicions of possible manipulation. Despite initial skepticism about his crypto knowledge, the dad claimed to be a veteran in the space but was reported to be inexperienced with the livestreaming nuances and trading tactics. Traders accused him of being involved in a bundling scheme that artificially suppressed token prices. Amidst these challenges, the new dad still projected long-term hopes for SOLBABY, intending for it to symbolize his daughter's legacy on the blockchain, even as market performance fell dramatically from nearly $700,000 to just over $58,000.
