Meme

Meme coins are community-driven cryptocurrencies inspired by internet culture, social media trends, and viral humor. While often volatile, they represent the "social layer" of crypto, fostering massive, highly engaged communities. In 2026, the meme sector has evolved beyond speculative trading into community-led incubators and fair-launch platforms on chains like Solana. Follow this tag to analyze market sentiment, viral tokenomics, and the cultural impact of assets like DOGE, PEPE, and the next generation of social tokens.

WNBA Games Disrupted by Meme Coin Crypto Protest Over ‘Toxic’ Culture

WNBA Games Disrupted by Meme Coin Crypto Protest Over ‘Toxic’ Culture

A crypto memecoin group has taken responsibility for throwing sex toys onto the court at multiple WNBA games over the past week, a new report from USA Today claims. Crypto Memecoin Collective Behind WNBA Sex Toy Incidents According to the August 8 report, an anonymous spokesperson for the memecoin collective —identified only by the X account @Daldo_Raine—told the outlet that the intention behind the stunts is to protest the crypto sector’s “toxic” environment. The report notes that the group created Green Dildo Coin as a joke last month, as small players in the crypto industry continue to face headwinds from bad actors in the digital assets space. The coin launched on July 28, just one day before the first incident occurred at an Atlanta Dream game at Georgia’s Gateway Center Arena on July 29. Two people have been arrested for throwing sex toys onto WNBA courts. Still, the group’s spokesperson told USA Today that their goal is not to disrespect or degrade female athletes. Sex Toy Stunts Face Backlash The incidents have sparked renewed discourse around the perception of women’s sports and the treatment of female athletes, particularly in the WNBA. It’s a stretch to argue targeting the WNBA wasn’t strategic and intentional with these recent sex toy-related incidents. Making a sex toy the focal point of games in a league that has perhaps the most openly gay and queer players doesn’t seem like an accident. pic.twitter.com/q8IbfFISor — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) August 7, 2025 “These women are still the subject of an occasional punchline,” The Athletic ’s women’s basketball managing editor Shannon Ryan wrote in an August 7 article. “While players are negotiating for higher salaries, they’re still fighting for their reputations to be respected as elite professional athletes.” “They have now had to be graceful and coolly navigate being unfairly thrust into an obscene moment,” she added. “Everyone’s trying to make sure the W’s not a joke and it’s taken seriously, and then that happens,” WNBA player Sophie Cunningham said on a recent episode of her “ Show Me Something ” podcast. “I’m like, how are we ever going to get taken seriously?”

[LIVE] Crypto News Today: Latest Updates for August 08, 2025 – Crypto Market Soars as Trump Greenlights 401(k) Crypto Investments, ETH Tops $3,900

The crypto market rallied sharply during early Asian trading hours on Friday, with most sectors gaining between 2% and 9%, after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order allowing 401(k) retirement plans to invest in digital assets, unlocking potential access to $9 trillion in long-term capital. Optimism was further fueled by expectations of easing tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Ethereum surged 5.67% to briefly break $3,900, while Bitcoin rose 2% to trade near $117,000. Standout moves included XRP’s 12.8% jump after settling its four-year SEC battle, and notable gains across PayFi, DeFi, meme, and RWA tokens. But what else is happening in crypto news today?
