Phantom Makes Power Move: Acquires Solsniper, the AI-Powered Solana Memecoin Trading Beast

Solana's hottest wallet just weaponized its arsenal. Phantom—the crypto wallet giant—snapped up Solsniper in a deal that shakes up the memecoin trading game. No terms disclosed (because why would Wall Street transparency infect crypto?).

Here's why it matters:

• Solsniper isn't your grandma's trading bot. This AI-driven tool hunts Solana memecoin pumps before they moon—or rug. Now it's under Phantom's hood.

• Memecoins = 2025's toxic casino chips. With this acquisition, Phantom just bought the house.

• Solana degens win? Tighter wallet-bot integration could mean one-click snipe trades. Or faster ways to lose your shirt.

The closer: While TradFi bankers argue about 'blockchain use cases,' Phantom just turned memecoin gambling into a vertical. Stay reckless, crypto.

Phantom maintains Solsniper as an independent platform

For now, Phantom has confirmed that Solsniper will continue operating independently and won’t be immediately shut down or integrated into its existing app.

All existing Solsniper users can continue using the tool as they are now. Phantom has also promised that updates and new additions are on the way, with releases planned over the next few months.

Still, its commitment to keep Solsniper as a separate product shows Phantom intends to preserve the platform’s status quo while slowly adding new features.

Phantom stated that it is evolving beyond its role as a simple wallet and indicated that users should expect more strategic acquisitions as the company works to broaden its product offerings and speed up its development efforts.

This isn’t Phantom’s first company acquisition to boost its offerings. In February, it bought SimpleHash, a cross-chain NFT and token metadata provider. That MOVE strengthened Phantom’s ability to support decentralized applications and NFT traders.

Phantom is building a full-stack trading and data ecosystem with both acquisitions on top of its Core wallet service.

Phantom prepares for meme coin surge with Solsniper

Solana-based meme coins will see explosive growth in 2025. Launchpads like Pump.fun made it easy for anyone to create and trade meme tokens within minutes.

In January, Pump.fun alone recorded daily trading volumes of over $3 billion. This surge created a massive demand for fast, reliable tools that could give traders an edge — especially tools that allow for rapid entry into new token launches, also known as “sniping.”

Platforms like Solsniper became essential, allowing users to track liquidity, follow whale wallets, and trade in real-time — often within seconds of a new token going live.

While trading volumes have since cooled off, interest in memecoins and token tools remains high. Phantom’s acquisition of Solsniper shows that it closely watches trader behavior and adjusts its product strategy accordingly.

Crypto traders are no longer just storing assets in wallets. They are tracking, swapping, and actively engaging in fast-paced markets.
