Rug Pull Explained What It Means and How It Works in Crypto Trading 2026

A rug pull is a scam in the cryptocurrency world where the creators of a token or project abruptly withdraw all liquidity, leaving investors unable to sell their tokens and causing the price to collapse. This phenomenon is especially prevalent in the meme coin sector, which has seen a resurgence on blockchains like Solana, popular for its fast transactions and low fees. Rug pulls exploit the trust and hype around new meme coins, which often have low liquidity and rely on pump-and-dump tactics. They can happen during initial coin offerings, token launches, or even after a coin gains some popularity. Developers create and deploy a new meme coin smart contract on Solana.
