Biden Meme Coin Crashes: $9 Billion to Under $600 Million
Hunter Biden's meme coin, called 'Hunter Biden's Laptop,' has seen a dramatic decline in value since its launch. The market cap surged to $9 billion but dropped to under $600 million within an hour.
'Meme coins are typically more volatile than established cryptocurrencies, with prices that can swing 50% to 90% in a single day based on social media trends or celebrity endorsements,' said Bisto, a crypto trading platform.
According to the New York Post, four out of five people who invested in Hunter's meme coin saw their investment fail. However, one anonymous trader turned a $250,000 bet into $1.8 million in just a few minutes.
Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, described the situation as a 'rug pull.'
