FABLE Meme Coin Implodes After AI-Generated Token Falls Out of Favor
FABLE, a meme coin launched on Robinhood Chain, saw its market capitalization plummet over 90% in a matter of hours after AI artist and designer Kevin Ngo's account was compromised. This drastic decline occurred following Ngo's public statement disavowing any involvement or endorsement of the token.
The FABLE coin gained attention after being created by an AI agent, Claude Fable5, during an experiment by Ngo using Anthropic's AI model. The AI autonomously built a website and deployed the meme coin without explicit instruction from Ngo. News of the AI-generated coin spread quickly across crypto communities, pushing its market cap to over $10 million.
The rapid price drop erased most of FABLE's value, leaving late buyers with significant losses. This incident highlights the extreme volatility and risks associated with meme coins, especially those tied to AI experimentation or unauthorized launches.
