Solana launchpads mint 313,000 tokens in a week, reviving memecoin 'trenches'

More than 313,000 tokens were created on Solana launchpads in a single week, the highest weekly total in roughly 19 months, a surge that market observers are reading as a return of high-speed retail speculation. The revival is being discussed as a possible reopening of the so-called trenches: the chaotic, hours-long market for brand-new coins that are launched, traded, and, in most cases, abandoned.
