Solana retracts video ad amid backlash from crypto community

Solana posted the ad on social media on Monday but deleted it a few hours later when it faced backlash online. The video, however, continues to circulate on X.

The ad featured content deemed insensitive towards gender issues, with some claiming that the ad was anti-queer.

In the video, an individual named "America" appears to undergo therapy for "rational thinking syndrome," with the therapist wanting the individual to come up with a "new gender" or "focus on pronouns."

"I will lead the world in permissionless tech, build onchain and reclaim my place as the beacon of innovation," the individual said. "I want to invent technologies, not genders."
