Phantom Wallet has no plans to launch a token, squashing rumors

The Phantom Wallet team has put an end to rumors regarding a potential token launch by the popular non-custodial wallet on Solana.

Several influencers had been speculating about an upcoming airdrop for Phantom Wallet users, but the wallet has now clarified that it does not have any plans to launch a token.

Via Crypto X, Phantom Wallet addressed the matter, stating that it has received a lot of inquiries regarding a potential Phantom token. While acknowledging the excitement around the idea, the wallet highlighted its focus on improving the user experience rather than creating its own token.

“We’re flattered by the passion around the Phantom token concept, but we have no plans to launch a token,” the update reads.

The update also aimed to clear up any confusion surrounding the PHNT token, with Phantom Wallet directly stating, “we do not have any plans to launch a token.”

Instead, the team is concentrating on enhancing social discovery, allowing users to more easily share and explore assets within the platform.

The news has sparked mixed reactions from the community, with some users expressing disappointment and others appreciating the wallet’s transparency, viewing it as a step to protect users from potential scams.

This update follows similar security improvements from Trust Wallet and BNB Chain. Although Phantom Wallet’s decision might affect the Solana ecosystem by limiting new token-related growth, it hasn’t harmed the price of Solana’s native coin.

In fact, the price of SOL has risen by 5.05% in just 24 hours, reaching $216.75, indicating that Phantom’s update hasn’t negatively impacted Solana’s market performance.
