TREE NEWS reports: On Sept 2, memecoin JINQIAN surged to an $80 million market cap within an hour on Robinhood Chain, then plunged to $10 million the next hour, now near $3 million. The token paired with FAMI, a non-official token tied to Nasdaq-listed Farmmi, which rose 300% intraday. The scheme’s promoter Rune later claimed his stock purchase post was AI-generated. Analysts say the short-squeeze narrative was flawed as no real stock buying occurred.
JINQIAN memecoin collapses after $80M surge in stock-pairing scheme
AI take
The collapse highlights the fragility of narratives built on synthetic links to equities. The pairing with a non-official token amplified volatility, but the absence of actual stock buying undermined the premise from the start. This matters for those trading speculative cross-asset pairs, as it exposes how easily hype can substitute for fundamentals. The open question is whether exchanges or regulators will scrutinize such pairing schemes more closely, given the speed of the rise and fall.
