Solana’s memecoin, $RAY, has undergone a nearly 400% price pump in the past day, and is now the number one degenfi.ai gainer by a wide margin.
$RAY’s backing entity, @RaydiumProtocol, has been undertaking liquidity maneuvers to keep the token from falling, and these very buybacks and support measures are in the white paper guide for making a liquidity.
In January 2025, Raydium spent a staggering $54 million buying back 8.8 million $RAY tokens.
$RAY is also one of the top five on the Solana network with the highest decentralized exchange (DEX) buy volumes in the last 24 hours.
The ascent of $RAY can equally be credited to the robust community it has attracted since launch.
The decentralized exchange protocol supporting the token, Raydium, is well-integrated into the larger Solana ecosystem.
As this decentralized push on the network becomes more pronounced, the role of $RAY within the Solana ecosystem is bound to increase.
Upward price movements (aka rallies) are often sustained when there is (1) A REASON TO RALLY (like a strong support level, which we have in the form of a buyback program); (2) CONTINUED DEMAND (that could mean buying or not selling when the token is in the hands of traders and investors); and (3) A BROAD CRYPTO MARKET THAT IS HOLDING UP (which has been the case recently).
The continued efforts by Raydium to secure the value of our token and the growing interest of the community make me think that the future of $RAY in the Solana ecosystem is potentially very bright indeed.
The Solana ecosystem has seen its latest favourite in the $RAY token, which has emerged as the surprising top gainer of the past few days with its 24-hour surge of 393.46%.
