Waddles the Pig Becomes Crypto Sensation with $2M Token Launch
The celebrity pig Waddles has become a crypto sensation, with his own video game and meme coin. The 'Waddles Official' token was launched just three days ago and has already seen $2 million in trading.
Coin creator Earl DeLand said the goal is to raise money for Waddles' care and support other abandoned pigs. DeLand's aunt adopted Waddles last summer after he was surrendered to the SPCA due to neglect. The pig suffered severe sunburns, with blisters covering his pink skin.
The 'Waddles Official' token is built on the Solana platform, which allows for easy conversion to US dollars. DeLand hopes the coin will raise at least $250,000 to support Waddles and other pigs like him.
