3 Solana ecosystem tokens to avoid in April

Solana (SOL) is going through delicate times facing network issues, congestion bugs, transaction failures, and rug pulls within its DeFi ecosystem. In this context, Finbold has selected three Solana tokens to avoid this month, while facing uncertainty.

It is notable how the Solana ecosystem has gained the spotlight in 2024 amid growth and increased market interest. The network’s native token, SOL, climbed market cap ranks and now positions itself among the five most valuable cryptocurrencies.

A similar analysis might apply to Bonk (BONK) and other meme tokens from the Solana ecosystem, which traders should avoid.

These tokens already present higher risks than the usual ones natural to cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, the inherent risks of liquidity issues, death spirals, early investors’ sell-offs, and the greater fool theory increase as the ecosystem’s base layer goes through the malfunctioning Solana is currently experiencing.

Jupiter (JUP)

Another token to consider avoiding during Solana’s network issues, congestions, and transaction failures is Jupiter (JUP).

Essentially, Jupiter is a decentralized exchange for trading perpetual contracts, which is a variety of Futures popular with cryptocurrencies. This is a promising project and Finbold featured JUP as one of the three best Solana tokens to invest in 2024.

Nevertheless, perpetual contracts are a delicate financial product that highly relies on solid networks. Facing issues could liquidate positions that otherwise would not suffer, traders may not be able to make needed adjustments, and the protocol could see a lower demand in this unfortunate context.

Additionally, JUP is a token that was recently airdropped, meaning that there is still relevant short-term selling pressure.

All things considered, this current selection of three Solana ecosystem tokens to avoid in April aims to assist traders in identifying risks and making better decisions. Still, each trader should do their research and make decisions according to their perception.
