Solana Meme Coin $Avishkar Collapses After $50K Rug Pull Allegations

Another Solana-based memecoin has tanked after a sudden liquidity drain (), this time tied to , a project promoted by 15-year-old activist Avishkar Raut, known for his viral anti-corruption speech in Nepal.

On-chain data from shows the token spiked briefly at launch before collapsing as roughly $50,000 was pulled from liquidity pools.

The event is now circulating as the latest Pump.fun rug pull case study, fueling debate over the dangers of hype-driven meme coins that lean on personality rather than fundamentals.

Launched in late September, $Avishkar was pitched as a social-impact coin blending activism with crypto. Within hours of launch, however, , and the token’s price nuked. At press time, the Avishkar/SOL pair trades near $0.875 with thin volume, resistance capped at $0.90–$0.92, and a psychological barrier at $1.00.

Without new inflows, analysts say recovery is unlikely, leaving early buyers stuck in yet another Solana rug pull cycle.

For many retail traders, $Avishkar episode is déjà vu. Screenshots of the collapse are circulating across crypto Reddit boards () and Instagram reels (,), with traders calling it “a classic rug.” Supporters who once saw Raut as a symbol of change now accuse him of selling out.

The backlash highlights a broader lesson that of meme coins tied to individuals, especially minors or viral figures, that it carries outsized risks because they can move liquidity without oversight.

While the figure at the center is regional, the cautionary message is global. In markets like the U.S., UK, and Dubai, where meme coins often dominate speculative trading, the $Avishkar collapse shows you how quickly hype can flip to losses. Pump.fun launches are easy to spin up, but without fundamentals, they’re just as easy to crash.

The fallout also adds fuel to ongoing calls for stronger investor safeguards and crypto literacy campaigns, especially for younger audiences exposed via social platforms.

On PumpSwap, the Avishkar/SOL pair shows the aftermath of the crash. Prices are consolidating around $0.875, with extremely low trading volume.

Immediate support stands at $0.8750, while deeper support lies near $0.85. Resistance levels appear at $0.90 and $0.92, with a psychological barrier at $1.00. Analysts note that unless volume improves, bullish recovery remains unlikely.
