Why It Matters: The $dogwifhat token on Ethereum is a copy of the eponymous WIF token on Solana (CRYPTO: SOL).

On Feb. 3, following a publicity stunt by the Solana-based Dogwifhat community, Issa, a Fornite streamer, outed himself as the original creator of the dogwifhat meme.

Issa tweeted, “With so many of you reaching out to me and the $WIF team never acknowledging me as the original creator I wanted to clarify that I have no affiliation with them and never owned or received any allocation.”

He proceeded to launch the “REAL $dogwifhat on Ethereum,” with the token’s value surged from a penny to 30 cents before questions about ownership of the original meme emerged.

The on-chain evidence for potential insider trading could further fuel the discussion about the legitimacy of the Ethereum-based version of the popular dog meme.

What’s Next: WIF, the Dogewifhat token on Solana, has been tipped to rival Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB). However, the memecoin failed to sustain its short-term momentum and is down 30.5% over the past week.

The new development could fuel discussions about potential ‘pump and dump’ scenarios fby insiders in the ongoing meme coin frenzy.
