What is a liquidity pull on Solana?
A liquidity pull is when the funds that let holders trade a token are removed from its pool. Once the liquidity is gone, the token can no longer be sold at any meaningful price.
How it works
Most Solana memecoins trade against SOL in a liquidity pool. Whoever controls the pool's liquidity can withdraw it. If that liquidity was not locked or burned, it can be removed at any time.
What it looks like
- Liquidity drops from tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to almost zero, often within a minute.
- Trading stops: the chart goes flat because there is nothing left to trade against.
- Holders cannot sell, or only at a near-total loss.
A pull is not the same as a dump
A dump is heavy selling: the price falls, but the liquidity stays in the pool and trading continues. A pull removes the pool itself. We only report a pull when liquidity falls below 30% of its peak on two consecutive readings and trading has stopped.
How common is it?
More common than most traders think. Our live statistics show the share of trending Solana tokens that lost their liquidity since 31 Oct 2026, and how fast it happened.
How to reduce the risk
- Check whether the liquidity is locked or burned before buying: RugCheck shows it.
- Be wary of thin liquidity compared to market cap.
