This news update has triggered a mixed emotion among users. While some considered the update disappointing, others noted how important the update is to safeguard users from scammers. The update comes shortly after a Trust Wallet and BNB Chain’s crypto wallet security update.
Meanwhile, the Solana’s Phantom Wallet did not mention any specific effort regarding its social incentive for the community.
Impact on the Solana Ecosystem
The broader Solana ecosystem might suffer the brunts of this latest update as a Phantom Wallet. With a new token on Solana, the demand for SOL as liquidity asset and fas fee will soar, setting the coin up for growth.
This is even more needed with the ongoing Pump Fun SOL selloff on exchanges like kraken. The memecoin launchpad has continued to sell its generated SOL revenue as the most used memecoin launchpad in the broader industry.
Amid these updates and negative ecosystem shifts, the price of SOL has jumped 5.05% in 24 hours to $216.75. This shows the Phantom wallet update has fueled no negative impact for the coin.
