The X account of Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been locked following accusations of promoting and rug-pulling multiple Solana-based memecoins. Speculation spread on Monday after the account appeared to promote a token called “CUBA,” leading some to believe the Cuban government was involved in the memecoin frenzy. The hype around memecoins has gained traction recently, especially after Donald Trump-related tokens surged . The CUBA token reportedly reached a $30 million market cap before collapsing. Additionally, two other tokens—dubbed “Cuba Coin 2.0” and “Justice for Cuba Coin”—allegedly launched and failed within 24 hours. Screenshots circulating online also show a token called “CUBA 4.0,” further fueling speculation about potential hacking involvement.
