Reacting to Lookonchain’s post on the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter), several users suggested that this is a case of insider trading, potentially from a developer involved in $BORK trading advantage of information related to its development pipeline and listing schedule.

Solana’s ecosystem has been booming as its price has been recovering from the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, whose founder Sam Bankman-Fried was a staunch supporter of, leading the token and its ecosystem to be affected by association. Bankman-Fried was recently found guilty on counts of wire fraud and money laundering.

Over the past year the price of Solana’s native token SOL surged more than 600%, with its ecosystem recently benefiting from its Saga smartphone, which once faced sluggish sales, selling out recently over a lucrative 30 million BONK token airdrop for each new owner of the phone.

Analysts believe SOL’s price may keep on rising, however, with a popular cryptocurrency strategist who has gained a large following on social media after accurately calling Bitcoin’s 2018 bear market bottom above $3,000, predicting a major surge for it in the near future.
