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.

Pennsylvania state lawmaker proposes ban on public officials trading crypto

Pennsylvania state lawmaker proposes ban on public officials trading crypto

                                                                               The bill pushed by the representative included a ban on lawmakers and their families from "launching, promoting, or trading in coins where they hold a personal financial interest.”                     Ben Waxman, a Democrat representing District 182 in Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives, has introduced legislation “to prohibit elected officials from profiting off cryptocurrency while in office.”Waxman introduced HB1812 on Wednesday with eight Democratic co-sponsors in response to what he called “corruption” perpetuated at the federal level by US President Donald Trump.The Pennsylvania lawmaker accused Trump of financially benefiting from crypto projects like his memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP), and pushing policies to “roll back federal oversight of crypto markets, shielding these schemes from scrutiny.”Read more

Kanye West’s YZY memecoin is the last thing crypto needs

Kanye West’s YZY memecoin is the last thing crypto needs

The post Kanye West’s YZY memecoin is the last thing crypto needs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from The Drop newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Did Shopify dropping Ye push him to promote his own crypto payments processor — and memecoin? The rapper formerly known as Kanye West’s X account, which has been frequently purged after bizarre bouts of antisemitic and incoherent tweets for years, is now promoting “YZY Money.”  Earlier this year, Shopify stopped powering payments for Ye’s Yeezy apparel website after the rapper began selling swastika t-shirts, resulting in the website’s temporary disappearance.  A Shopify spokesperson said at the time back in February that the Yeezy site “did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms.” Shopify’s legal counsel ultimately clarified that the Yeezy Shopify site was taken down due to a risk of fraud to consumers, not because of the Nazi swastika itself.  Details of an internal Slack memo from Shopify legal counsel described the t-shirt as a “vile, disgusting, and inexcusable” stunt. They also said it “was not a good faith attempt to make money” and “brought with it the real risk of fraud.” Now there’s a YZY memecoin, Ye Pay, and the YZY Card.  Let’s all take a moment and ask ourselves: What could go wrong? The memecoin is live and a contract address is visible on the Yeezy website and the rapper’s X account.  But RugCheck’s analysis of the token cautions: DANGER. “The contract creator can make changes to the token contract such as contract metadata, disabling sells, changing fees, unrestrictive minting of more tokens, transferring tokens etc.,” a warning from RugCheck that appears on CoinGecko reads. The YZY Money website claims the whole point here is to “put you in control, free from centralized authority.” But of course, if you buy in, it’s helping Ye free you of some of your cash. Here’s…

1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid

1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid

The post 1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Charles Hoskinson denies insider hoarding rumors for Midnight’s NIGHT token airdrop. Over 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens claimed, with 69,000 wallets participating by August 19. Midnight partners with Fireblocks to support secure institutional adoption of NIGHT tokens. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shut down speculations that insiders are hoarding tokens in the Midnight network’s NIGHT token airdrop. The Glacier Drop, which started in early August, has already seen over 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens claimed, showing strong interest from the crypto community. Hoskinson’s response comes as Midnight teams up with Fireblocks to enhance secure adoption by big players. Midnight’s Airdrop Success and Partnerships The speculations started with a meme on X claiming most NIGHT tokens would end up back with Hoskinson, suggesting the airdrop wasn’t attracting enough people. Hoskinson called this misinformation and shared data showing over 69,000 wallets claimed 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens by August 19, about 5.5% of the total supply. He pointed out the airdrop is doing well, with 250 million tokens claimed in just the first 24 hours. Analysts say the 60 day claim window ensures fairness, and fewer early claims could mean bigger payouts. For those who join later, possibly leading to a rush near the deadline. Midnight, a privacy focused project tied to Cardano, also announced a partnership with Fireblocks, a platform for safely managing digital assets. This move helps institutions claim and use NIGHT tokens securely. Fireblocks supports Midnight’s goal of a private, secure blockchain future. The airdrop gives 50% of the 24 billion NIGHT tokens to Cardano’s ADA holders. 5% to XRP holders, and the rest to users on other blockchains like Bitcoin. Hoskinson’s focus on transparency aims to build trust as Midnight grows. Source: https://thenewscrypto.com/1-3b-night-tokens-claimed-as-hoskinson-highlights-midnight-airdrop-success/

Pennsylvania bill bans public officials from crypto transactions, mandates disclosures

Pennsylvania bill bans public officials from crypto transactions, mandates disclosures

The post Pennsylvania bill bans public officials from crypto transactions, mandates disclosures appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pennsylvania lawmakers introduced new legislation on Aug. 20 that will require public officials to disclose digital asset holdings exceeding $1,000 and divest anything above that threshold within 90 days of the bill coming into effect. The legislation also prohibits officials from conducting crypto transactions during their term and for one year after leaving office. The bill, HB1812, amends Title 65 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding ethics standards for public officials, and was referred to the State Government Committee the same day. It introduces a definition of “digital assets” that encompasses various forms of digital currency and tokens, including crypto and NFTs.  The legislation also prohibits public officials’ immediate families from engaging in certain financial transactions during the politician’s term and for one year after leaving office. Rep. Ben Waxman sponsors HB1812 with seven other co-sponsors, including Freeman, Giral, Pielli, Probst, Hill-Evans, Sanchez, Otten, and Briggs. Disclosure and divestiture requirements Public officials must disclose any financial interest in digital assets exceeding $1,000 in their statements of financial interests. Officials who already possess such interests must divest their holdings within 90 days after the bill takes effect. The disclosure requirements apply to both direct holdings and investments through immediate family members. The $1,000 threshold aligns with existing financial disclosure standards for other investment categories. HB1812 classifies violations related to digital assets as felonies with fines up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to five years. Violations of other restricted activities provisions incur civil penalties of up to $50,000. The legislation establishes a 60-day implementation period following passage. The bill addresses digital asset ethics in public service as crypto becomes more prevalent in investment portfolios. Federal efforts The Pennsylvania legislation aligns with the 2025 federal efforts to address officials’ crypto activities.  Congressman Ritchie Torres proposed the “Stop Presidential Profiteering from Digital Assets…
