The Black Bull (ANSEM) climbed nearly 20,000% in seven days on Solana after crypto influencer Ansem announced plans to distribute his accumulated creator fees as weekly airdrops to community members.
The announcement came through X. Ansem told followers he would redirect his Pump.fun creator fees as weekly airdrops, selecting winners at random each week.
A Single Post Triggers a Market Move
The airdrop announcement pushed ANSEM’s 24-hour trading volume past $80 million as traders moved quickly to accumulate the token. The token’s price reached an all-time high of $0.121 on June 29. At that level, its fully diluted valuation sat near $121 million.
Some traders who entered before the announcement reported gains between 100x and 261x their original investment. ANSEM now trades at $0.108, up 79.7% in the past 24 hours. Its current market cap sits near $42.8 million. Over seven days, the token has climbed roughly 19,878%.
The speed of the move highlights how sharply the Solana meme coin market reacts to social catalysts.
Creator Fees Repurposed as Community Incentive
Ansem, known on X as @blknoiz06, is a prominent Solana-focused trader with a large following. Historically, his activity has moved prices in the Solana meme coin space.
Pump.fun routes a portion of trading fees to the creator of each token on the platform. As a result, creators of high-volume tokens accumulate significant fee income over time. In turn, that mechanic gave Ansem a fund to redistribute without launching a new token from scratch.
While Ansem utilized his accumulated fees for the incentive, it is worth noting that the ANSEM token itself was launched as an independent community project rather than by the influencer himself.
Solana’s Memecoin Landscape Sets the Stage
Solana meme coin trading had already been recovering before the announcement, with the network continuing to draw speculative volume toward new token launches. Meanwhile, Pump.fun DEX volume reached record highs earlier in 2026, reflecting renewed appetite for tokens on the network.
However, Solana DEX volumes have reversed sharply before, and single-catalyst rallies on the network have a mixed record of sustaining momentum. ANSEM’s $80 million in 24-hour volume represents a meaningful slice of Solana’s daily memecoin activity, but the next test is whether airdrop participation continues to generate new buyer demand week over week.
ANSEM price data and trading activity remain the key metrics to watch as the first airdrop date approaches.
