The LAPTOP memecoin team said that sniper bots, which are automated programs that buy tokens instantly, and insufficient liquidity, meaning not enough cash available for trading, caused its volatile launch, leading to a 99% price collapse.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
A 99% price drop means early buyers likely lost nearly all their money. This shows how low cash available and automated trading can make new digital coins extremely risky for everyday investors.
Analyst inference
This event highlights that new memecoins, which are tokens based on internet jokes, can be highly unstable. Sniper bots can worsen price swings, and without enough trading cash, prices may crash suddenly.
