kimchi2026-10-23 01:57:42Kimchi-linked meme coin spikes to $10 million before collapsing after deleted post and repost reversalA community-circulated claim on Oct. 23 said crypto influencer kimchi posted an image containing a QR code that directed users to a meme coin bearing the same name. Information tied to the episode said a kimchi-linked address held more than 50% of the token supply, and that the coin was different from an earlier Kimchi token that had previously raced to a $30 million valuation. Pump.fun co-founder alon then reposted the post, helping push the new token’s market capitalization to roughly $10 million in a short period. The move quickly reversed. Alon later removed the repost, kimchi deleted the original post, and the influencer also removed the word pump.fun from a personal profile. The token then fell sharply, with its market capitalization quoted at about $190,000 at the time. Separately, GMGN market data showed that the earlier Kimchi token also accelerated lower that morning, with its market capitalization reported at about $12.81 million. The incident triggered backlash in the community, with some crypto investors accusing kimchi and alon of conduct they said may have been illegal.210
Donald Trump2026-10-01 18:45:29Trump memecoin markets another dinner for top $TRUMP investorsInvestors in Donald Trump’s $TRUMP memecoin are being offered another chance to attend an event with the U.S. president, with token managers promoting a gala dinner scheduled for Nov. 22 at Trump National near Washington, D.C. The invitation list will go to the top 185 registered investors, while VIP status will be locked on Nov. 12 based on investor engagement in the token. The event website calls it the “most exclusive dinner in the world” and says three additional “legends” will join Trump, though none of them have been identified so far. The site also states that no attendee will receive a private meet-and-greet with the president, a point that disappointed some participants at earlier events. After the dinner announcement, the token briefly rose about 10% to $2.25 before falling back near recent levels, still far below its roughly $74 all-time high. The promotion comes as earlier Trump memecoin events and Trump’s broader crypto ties continue to draw criticism from Democratic lawmakers during debates over digital asset legislation.510
Donald Trump2026-10-02 09:43:56Trump Memecoin Opens Dinner Competition for Top 185 Holders as Democrats Weigh InvestigationsHolders of President Donald Trump’s memecoin are being invited to compete again for dinner access tied to their token balances. The official $TRUMP website opened registration on Wednesday for a gala dinner scheduled for Nov. 22 at Trump National Washington, D.C., a members-only golf club. Seats are reserved for the 185 wallets that finish highest on the project’s leaderboard, which uses a time-weighted score based on how many tokens a wallet holds and for how long. Scoring began on Sept. 30, with a final snapshot set for Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. Eastern. Wallets that sell all of their tokens are removed from the rankings. The top 29 holders will also qualify for a VIP reception with Trump and one of three unnamed guests described by the site as “Legends.” Attendees are set to receive gifts in person, including a Trump fragrance, while the top four VIP-ranked participants will receive an 18K gold Trump watch. The event page also says there will be no private meetings with the president and that no gifts will be accepted. The announcement came days after Reuters reported that Democrats plan to investigate Trump family business dealings, including Trump-linked crypto firms, if they win control of the House or Senate in November.660
TRUMP token2026-10-01 18:50:27$TRUMP sets third dinner for Nov. 22 in Washington, with top 185 investors invitedA website managing events tied to the $TRUMP token says the Trump memecoin will hold its third dinner on Nov. 22 at Trump National Private Club in Washington, D.C., with invitations going to the top 185 registered investors. VIP status will be determined by each investor’s level of participation in the token and locked in on Nov. 12. The event is being promoted as the “most exclusive dinner in the world,” and organizers say three “legendary figures” will join the president at the table, though their identities have not been disclosed. The club also states that no attendee will receive a private meeting with the president. At earlier events, Trump appeared only briefly, and some participants did not get to meet him. Top-tier VIP guests at the upcoming dinner are set to receive gifts including a commemorative poster and “TRUMP perfume.” After the dinner announcement, $TRUMP briefly rose about 10% to $2.25 before pulling back. The token remains far below its roughly $74 all-time high. Since launch, investors have lost tens of billions of dollars, and controversy around the token has become part of Senate debate over the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Democratic lawmakers had pushed to restrict digital asset ties for senior government officials, but that provision was not adopted, and the bill failed to advance last month.670
California2026-09-28 06:21:52California bars public officials from issuing memecoins as Newsom targets TrumpCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has signed AB 2409, a new law that bars the state’s public officials from issuing memecoins. The measure was enacted as part of an 11-bill package focused on corruption, consumer protection and cryptocurrency-related crime. Newsom’s office framed the signing in explicitly political terms, using the phrase “THE OPPOSITE OF TRUMP” and tying the law to criticism of President Donald Trump and the $TRUMP token. In a press release, Newsom said public officials should not profit from their office and said California was tightening protections to prevent that from happening in the state. The report also notes that it remains unclear whether the ban applies to memecoins already in circulation, including $TRUMP. CoinDesk said Trump’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The article also revisits the trading history of $TRUMP, including its rapid rise, steep collapse, holder losses tracked by Nansen, Trump’s disclosed royalty income, and the share of token supply held by Trump Organization affiliates.640
Meme Coins2026-09-10 10:51:31Meme Coin Cycles Recur, and Short-Term Hype Should Not Be Mistaken for TrendA commentary published by Foresight uses recent online talk about a token allegedly launched by former U.S. President Joe Biden’s son to revisit the earlier Trump token frenzy on Solana. The piece recalls how a team said to be close to Donald Trump launched the Trump token in January last year, triggering intense speculation across crypto circles. Traders shared outsized gains online, and the token quickly drew attention and capital away from the then-popular AI + Crypto narrative. Melania later followed with a token of her own, also launched before Trump formally took office, and the article says its wealth effect was also notable, though weaker than Trump’s. The author argues that the later performance of the Trump token undercut the bullish case many traders once made for it. Despite Trump’s actions in office that, according to the article, aimed to advance the U.S. crypto sector, those developments did not extend the token’s narrative or support its price. The commentary says Trump fell from above $40 to below $2 by the time of writing, with discussion around it fading sharply. Its conclusion is blunt: meme coin participation is a game of speculation, and market participants should not confuse emotional bursts around celebrity-linked tokens with durable trends.710
Hunter Biden2026-09-09 00:54:00Hunter Biden details LAPTOP token structure, with 20% set for airdrops and claims opening at 20:00 Beijing timeHunter Biden said in a post on X that his meme token LAPTOP was designed with a defined allocation plan and a charity component, while warning buyers not to expect him or anyone else to drive up the token’s price. LAPTOP’s official account later said 20% of total supply has been earmarked for community airdrops, with claims scheduled to open at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 9, or 20:00 Beijing time, and remain open for 30 days. Of that pool, 2% is reserved for users who lost money in the TRUMP meme coin and other related projects, to be distributed by participating exchanges under their own criteria; 8% is for Hunter Biden Substack subscribers as of Sept. 6; and 10% will be held by the Phoenix Veritas Foundation for future community airdrops. Hunter Biden also said another 30% of the token supply is tied to preset real-world events: if those events happen, the related tokens will be permanently burned; if they do not, the tokens will be donated to charity. He added that 50 million tokens will go to charity unconditionally. PANews had previously reported that LAPTOP has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with 350 million entering circulation at TGE, equal to 35% of supply.1750
GMGN2026-09-04 12:49:54GMGN posts $2.59 million in fees over 24 hours, near historical highsGMGN generated $2.59 million in fee revenue over the past 24 hours, according to data cited by Odaily from DefiLlama. The platform has recorded fee income near historical peak levels for several consecutive days, with the report linking the trend to speculative activity on Robinhood Chain and BNB Smart Chain (BSC). DefiLlama data also showed GMGN’s cumulative revenue over the past 30 days reached $37.96 million. That level was described as matching the period when Trump’s TRUMP token was launched, while still trailing the peak reached during the "Binance Life" speculation wave. The figures point to sustained trading-driven fee generation on the platform rather than a one-day spike alone.1210
