what's HODL?

HODL is a memecoin deployed on the Solana blockchain via the pump.fun platform in February 2026. It embodies the spirit of the legendary "HODL" meme, coined in a drunken 2013 Bitcointalk forum post by user GameKyuubi during a Bitcoin price crash. In that post titled "I AM HODLING," GameKyuubi ranted about refusing to sell despite poor trading skills and market panic, accidentally misspelling "hold" as "hodl"—a term that became synonymous with diamond-handed resilience in crypto culture. The token markets as "The Last HODL Coin," launched by the Solana community with GameKyuubi's GitHub wallet as the creator fee recipient. He demonstrated support by claiming fees and incorporating the contract address into his Bitcointalk profile. Community members took ownership around February 22, 2026, fostering organic growth amid Solana's memecoin ecosystem. It trades primarily in HODL/SOL pairs on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap and Raydium.

HODL launched its official token with a market valuation under $3 million.
