Yua Mikami’s meme coin sheds over 80% in 5 hours as $3.4m pre-sale turns sour

The MIKAMI meme coin, launched on 8 May 2025 by Japanese entertainment personality Yua Mikami, has witnessed a rapid collapse in value, plummeting over 80% from its peak just hours after launch.

Despite raising more than 23,000 SOL (around $3.4 million) during its pre-sale, the token’s post-launch performance has drawn scrutiny over its tokenomics, market timing, and reliance on Mikami’s celebrity branding.

More than 17,000 contributors participated in the pre-sale, which concluded on 3 May, but many now face losses exceeding 60%.

Pre-sale success overshadowed by swift crash

MIKAMI was introduced as a Solana-based meme token capitalising on the popularity of Yua Mikami, who had not previously engaged with the cryptocurrency industry.

The pre-sale attracted widespread attention and reportedly filtered out over 21,000 spam transactions of less than 0.002 SOL.

According to the MIKAMI Coin account on X, 17,560 valid wallets contributed a total of 23,320.74 SOL.

Each participant received tokens proportionate to their input, with an average pre-sale price of $0.245.

However, within five hours of the token’s official airdrop and listing on 8 May, the price dropped to $0.10, resulting in a 60% drop for early investors.

At its peak, the token traded around $0.828 before plunging to $0.1, as seen on Dexscreener.

The current market cap stands at roughly $7 million, a stark contrast to expectations set during the pre-sale period.

Low liquidity, high concentration raise concerns

The collapse of MIKAMI aligns with broader patterns seen in the meme coin market, particularly those driven by celebrity influence.

A breakdown of its tokenomics shows that 50% of the total supply is locked under Yua Mikami’s name until 2069, while 20% was allocated to pre-sale investors, 15% to liquidity, 10% to the community, and 5% to marketing.

The 15% liquidity pool has drawn criticism for being significantly lower than the typical 20–25% standard used in similar tokens.

This limited buffer left the coin vulnerable to sharp downward price swings when subjected to heavy sell pressure.

Blockchain data indicates a pattern of large token dumps immediately following launch, suggesting pre-sale whales cashed out early.

The absence of robust liquidity also limited the token’s ability to absorb sell-offs, making it harder for smaller holders to exit without incurring losses.

This dynamic has become a hallmark of meme coins that are short on utility and long on hype.

Broader meme coin market struggles weigh on MIKAMI

MIKAMI’s fall also reflects broader headwinds in the meme coin segment.

Since December 2024, overall market capitalisation for meme tokens has dropped 56.8%, creating an environment of risk aversion and uncertainty.

This makes it more difficult for new meme coins to retain investor confidence post-launch, especially when price action trends downward.

Social media users have commented on the psychological element of such investments, noting that many hope a new meme coin will help them recover from previous losses — a cycle often leading to impulsive decisions based on hype rather than fundamentals.

This cycle was evident with MIKAMI, as the initial excitement surrounding Mikami’s name failed to translate into lasting demand or support.

The rapid decline in value post-launch and the absence of Yua Mikami’s continued engagement or roadmap have left many wondering whether this was simply a speculative play by those seeking short-term gains.

With limited liquidity and poor timing amid a broader market slump, the MIKAMI token now serves as another cautionary tale in an increasingly crowded and volatile meme coin space.
