The odds of finding a successful memecoin to invest in on the token launch platform Pump.fun is lower than placing a winning bet in the casino. Experienced traders employ strategies to attempt to lower those odds and improve their chances, but recent social media activity suggests there is growing discontent among the ranks of degens as increasingly few investments turn a profit. One X user even described Pump.fun as “the worst casino on Earth.” In an Aug. 11 X post, memecoin trader Adam calculated that of the 16,357 tokens launched in the previous 24 hours, only 175 graduated to Raydium.

Leading the retreat is Intel, whose stocks plummeted after a disappointing Q2 earnings announcement on Aug. 1. The company failed to meet its quarterly target and wound up down 1% for revenue year-over-year. Intel’s generative AI pivotWhile that doesn’t sound like a huge problem, the company took the earnings call as an opportunity to announce a 15% staff reduction.

A German court has dismissed a legal case raised by the New York Times over the trademark of the puzzle Wordle.
