Solana bot turns $12,000 into $1.4 billion volume as fake liquidity hits Raydium

A Solana trading bot generated roughly $1.4 billion in volume from just $12,000 in capital, while a DEXScreener snapshot showed about $579 million in displayed liquidity paired with only 22.6 USDC in a Raydium pool. The mismatch highlights how wash trading and fake liquidity can inflate a pool's apparent valuation and mislead traders who rely on aggregator metrics. Traders should treat displayed liquidity figures on Solana DEXs with caution and verify actual pool reserves before sizing positions.
