Odaily Odaily News Trader Ansem stated on platform X that there are currently enough high-quality tokens on the market, so he has no immediate plans to issue a personal token but will airdrop the creator fees allocated to his Pump.fun personal page.Ansem stated that users who retweet the relevant post, follow his Pump.fun page, and comment with their own Pump.fun profile will have the opportunity to participate in a weekly random airdrop.Additionally, Ansem revealed that his creator fee share alone over the past week was approximately $200,000. He believes that using this portion of income for airdrops could replicate the market stimulus effect of the Jito airdrop in 2023 and could potentially serve as a catalyst to ignite a new bull run for Solana. However, he also pointed out that Pump.fun still needs to address the user experience issue regarding batch claims for airdrops.
Cryptocurrency law firm Burwick Law has filed a federal class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) against defendants including Walters—the creator of AI16Z and ELIZAOS—alleging violations of consumer protection laws, false advertising, and unjust enrichment. Court documents indicate that the defendants allegedly leveraged the brand reputation of Andreessen Horowitz (“a16z”) to market the project, launching the AI16Z token on Solana on October 24, 2024, later rebranding it as ELIZAOS. The complaint alleges that the project claimed to deploy autonomous AI agents capable of making investment decisions, whereas operations were in fact manually conducted—and no revenue was generated during the litigation period. On January 2, 2025, the token reached an all-time high price of approximately $2.47, with a market capitalization exceeding $2.6 billion; it subsequently collapsed amid large-scale sell-offs by major holders. On-chain data shows that the most profitable trader realized gains of roughly $39 million.
