The crypto community on the social network was skeptical of the developer’s statement. For example, one user pointed out that MartyParty has no confirmation that the wallet in question belongs to Google. Another user pointed out that the wallet mentioned by the author in his tweet contains non-fungible tokens of dubious origin, and it is unlikely that they belong to Google.

Another cryptocurrency enthusiast suggested that MartyParty is trying to gain personal benefit from spreading false information.

If it turns out that Google did indeed purchase the SOL cryptocurrency, the company did so at half the price of what the token is currently worth. At the time of writing, the digital asset is trading at $ 25.22, which is almost 19% higher than the previous day. This week alone, SOL has risen by 52%. The coin is currently ranked 10th in the top 100 with a market capitalization of $ 9.35 billion.
