Good morning, dear PNUT holders.
It's another day waking up to a PNUT surge, and while we congratulate (with envy) the esteemed PNUT holders, the FOMO sentiment is permeating today's market.
If you look closely at the sector structure, you'll find that the overall market has a slightly downward trend today, but Meme coins are soaring.
Among them, PNUT and FRED are certainly drawing attention. The former has rapidly surpassed a $200 million market cap, stunning everyone, while the latter has also embarked on its own rally after launching Moonshot.
As for PNUT, no further introduction is needed, as its origin stems from a controversial incident: a famous squirrel was captured and euthanized without proper communication, gradually turning into a political controversy seeking animal protection and expressing legitimate demands.
Similarly, FRED was created to commemorate the second discovered dead squirrel, "Frederick".
Across the ocean, politics means attention; in the narrative core, animals also seem to reflect the protection of self-power.
The overlay of external attention and internal narrative core has inevitably led to the spillover of FOMO sentiment after the emergence of the "divine plate". The funds that couldn't get on the train are also looking for similar narratives and topics.
So, today we see this "animal rescue" narrative gradually evolving into new Meme coins, trying to stir up a new wave after the "squirrel war" of PNUT, using different specific hot events.
In a seemingly ordinary car accident scene in Dallas, the police unexpectedly found a spider monkey named "Jorgie Boy", who belongs to local celebrity Brandi Botello, and this accidental car crash has forced her to be separated from her beloved pet.
According to the Dallas news report, the authorities found that Jorgie Boy was malnourished and underweight after the inspection. More importantly, privately keeping a monkey is illegal in the Dallas area. Based on animal welfare considerations, the police immediately decided to remove Jorgie Boy from the scene.
This incident has also caused a huge stir on social media, and Jorgie's owner Brandi has immediately launched the "Free Jorgie Boy" movement to try to raise public attention to this incident.
At the same time, this matter has also been widely discussed in the Tesla owner community, and some have even posted that they hope Musk can see the story about Jorgie. It is worth mentioning that this Tesla community is indeed being followed by Musk, but whether he can respond to the monkey incident is unpredictable.
It is in such expectations and backgrounds that multiple tokens themed around Jorgie emerged yesterday, also staging a battle of capitalization:
OG Jorgie:

Suspected Conspiracy Group Jorgie:
AMgMqadZ7Qpe9PCQwehAG3Xbg5cf8JxCxH7sGCSupump 15M
However, market participants have made their own choices. Although the community has been supporting and calling for the old OG Jorgie, the price is teetering as of the editorial deadline; while the Conspiracy Group Jorgie seems to have taken off, with a current market cap of around $15M, but with very high daily trading volume and number of holders.
Whether the monkey can be saved is unknown, but for the degens, trying to score another victory in the FOMO that the squirrels missed the train is a positive strategy.
Free Shayne Coplan:

Current market cap: 37M
Free Shayne Coplan is another hot Meme coin today, but it goes a step further than just animal rescue, with a touch of "expressing one's feelings through things".
The token's avatar is an eagle, and this is not just about freeing an eagle that has been captured, but points to the founder of the platform Polymarket, which shone brightly in the election prediction - Shayne Coplan.
Today, Shayne Coplan's residence was raided by the FBI.
At the same time, Bloomberg revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the company, targeting the illegal provision of Polymarket services to U.S. users.
This FBI raid incident has sparked a strong response in the cryptocurrency community, with supporters launching the "Free Shayne" movement and creating related tokens to show their support. This phenomenon is quite similar to the recent "Free Jorgie Boy" incident, reflecting the crypto community's sensitive reaction to regulatory actions.
From a broader perspective, this incident highlights the ongoing regulatory pressure facing the cryptocurrency industry, especially in sensitive areas such as prediction markets and online gambling. Polymarket had previously had contact with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over compliance issues and had shown a "substantive cooperative" attitude.
Currently, the entire crypto community is closely watching the development of the situation. This story, starting from the prediction market and evolving into a law enforcement action, has also made the corresponding Meme coin a focus of attention in the current bull market environment.
It is worth mentioning that the logo of FSC is an eagle. The eagle is also an element of Shayne Coplan's avatar, and the eagle is also a symbol of America itself, a pun on censorship.
What's more attention-grabbing is that Shayne has tweeted that this is "clearly political retaliation", and the current administration will go after companies they believe are associated with political opponents... Polymarket has not harmed anyone.
Musk then replied in the comments under Shayne's post: "Indeed."
This undoubtedly brings even more factors worth noting to this layer of Meme coin.
Anti-censorship and the pursuit of freedom have always been the correct narrative in the crypto circle, and with the addition of celebrity factors, the wave of releasing the eagle to release Shayne is likely to continue for a while.
Risk warning: Meme coins have no actual value support and are heavily influenced by market sentiment. Most (over 99%) Meme coins are PVP and will eventually go to zero. This article is for personal experience sharing only and does not constitute any investment advice.
