The 2024 Paris Olympics not only attracted global attention in the arena, but also unexpectedly set off a wave of enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency circle. Yusuf Dikec, a 51-year-old Turkish shooter, quickly became popular on the Internet for his relaxed playing style and even became part of the meme culture. The meme token of the same name became a thousand-fold coin overnight.

BlockBeats has compiled more Olympic Games-related meme coins, which does not constitute investment advice.

DIKEC

51-year-old Turkish athlete Y Dikec is currently the most popular Olympic athlete on the Internet. Y Dikec has participated in international shooting competitions since the early 2000s and has won many titles in European and World Championships. However, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Dikec won the public's attention because of his relaxed attitude.

Unlike other athletes wearing high-tech gear, Dikec only wore a seemingly ordinary T-shirt, glasses, and often put one hand casually in his trouser pocket. This relaxed but confident style quickly became an Internet sensation and made him the focus of this Olympics, helping Turkey win a silver medal, the country's first medal in the Olympic shooting event.

Faced with the fact that he participated in the Olympics without using special equipment and won the silver medal, which made him an internet celebrity, after the game it was revealed that Dikec was previously a Turkish military officer. He issued a statement, "I don't need special equipment. I was born a shooter."

Due to its multiple meme attributes, Dikec has attracted much attention in the crypto. The current related tokens are: $DIKEC and $DAD.

$DIKEC directly uses the name of the athlete. Its current market value on the Ethereum chain is $29.3K, and on the Solana chain it is $278.1K.

$DAD may not sound related to Dikec at first, but its current market value is $1.7M, which is much more popular than $DIKEC. The community's slang is: "He is the coolest athlete in the Paris Olympics, no camera, no headphones, only atmosphere and random $DAD skins, and his personality is always optimistic, especially like this kind and friendly random dad. Most of us who fight in cryptocurrencies are like him."

Kim Yeji

In addition to Y DIKEC, 31-year-old Korean shooter Kim Yeji was also a major focus of the Paris Olympics. With her outstanding performance and unique style, she not only won a silver medal in the competition, but also quickly became a hit on social media.

Her calm and domineering performance in the competition attracted widespread attention. Because she often wears her iconic sci-fi style shooting glasses and a hat worn upside down, coupled with her calm posture in the competition, fans nicknamed her "real-life agent" and "the coolest Olympic athlete." Even Elon Musk expressed his appreciation for her on social media, suggesting that she is suitable for acting in action movies.

In the crypto, Kim Ye-ji's image has quickly become a meme, her "coolness" has been discussed by many communities, and some cryptocurrencies have also begun to market around her image. There are not many related tokens currently, $YEJI is one, with a current market value of 138K. On the SOLANA chain, it is a little weaker than DIKEC, but there may be more room for growth.

Angela Carini

Last night at the Paris Olympics, Italian boxer Angela Carini attracted widespread attention for her match with a transgender athlete. The incident was caused by Carini's match against a transgender female boxer Imane Khelif. Due to the disparity in strength, it was considered an unfair competition, and this arrangement caused controversy about fairness and safety.

This incident has been discussed a lot on the Internet, involving disputes over sports fairness and transgender rights. Many well-known figures have spoken out about this incident. For example, Trump said that he would ban male athletes from participating in women's competitions after his election; Musk also retweeted the tweet "Men don't belong in women's sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini" on social media 18 hours ago.

So far, no suitable target has emerged. This morning, a token with the same name as Angela disappeared. However, the impact of the Angela unfair competition incident is very large, so there is still a great possibility that a good target will emerge.

LGBT

In addition to several athletes, there were also some memes that came out of the opening ceremony a few days ago, such as the meme with the same name as the mascot of the Paris Olympics, and the LGBT elements shown in the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

The entire opening ceremony displayed a strong theme of diversity and inclusion, and LGBT-related symbols and symbols were incorporated into the performances. For example, dancers and actors conveyed the celebration of gender diversity through costumes and dances, and some performances were interpreted as symbols of support for gay and transgender groups. Therefore, there are many meme concepts in the crypto, such as $gay and $les that appeared a few days ago.

$gay coin was originally a joke, created by a community member on Twitter Space, using the avatar of Frank, the founder of DeGods NFT. Frank also started to play a joke saying that he was gay. As the joke spread, the token price rose rapidly in a short period of time. At the same time, Frank helped $gay coin CTO (community take over) and tried to transform the token from a joke about him to a larger symbol of support for the LGBT movement.

After rising to 8M, $gay's current market value remains around 1.7M. We can observe and judge the future trend based on the market heat.

Note: Most meme hype is extremely risky and has no practical value. This article is only a record of ideas and is not intended as investment advice.
