The most righteous episode.
- Author: TechFlow
Good morning, esteemed PNUT holders.
It's another day waking up to a PNUT surge, and while congratulating (with envy) the esteemed PNUT holders, the market is filled with FOMO sentiment today.
If you look closely at the sector structure, you'll find that the overall market has a slightly downward trend today, but MEME is dominating.
Among them, PNUT and FRED are sure to draw attention. The former has a market cap of nearly $200 million, shocking the market, while the latter has also started its own rally after launching Moonshot.
As for PNUT, no further introduction is needed, as its origin stems from a controversial incident: a social media influencer 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 squirrel found dead, "Frederick".
Across the ocean, politics means attention; in the narrative core, animals also seem to reflect the protection of their own power.
The overlay of external attention and internal narrative core inevitably leads to the spillover of FOMO sentiment, and the funds that are too high to get on the bus 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 battle" of PNUT.

ToggleJorgie：The monkey taken away by the police ($Jorgie)
At an apparently ordinary car accident scene in Dallas, the police unexpectedly found a spider monkey named "Jorgie Boy", who belongs to local influencer Brandi Botello, and this accidental car accident 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 stir on social media, and Jorgie's owner Brandi has immediately launched a "Free Jorgie Boy" campaign to try to raise public awareness of this incident.
Meanwhile, in the Tesla owner community, this incident has also been widely discussed, and some have 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 will respond to the monkey incident is unpredictable.
It is in such anticipation and background that several tokens themed around Jorgie emerged yesterday, also staging a battle of capitalization:
OG Jorgie:

Suspected Conspiracy 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 at the time of writing; while the Conspiracy Jorgie seems to have come out, 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 degen who missed the squirrel, trying to score another victory in the FOMO is their cunning plan.
Free Shayne Coplan (The Eagle): The petition after the arrest of the Polymarket founder
Free Shayne Coplan:

Current market cap: $37M
Free Shayne Coplan is another hot MEME coin today, but it goes deeper than just animal rescue, with a touch of "expressing one's feelings through objects".
The token's avatar is an eagle, and this is not just about freeing a captured eagle, but points to Shayne Coplan, the founder of the platform Polymarket that has shone in the election prediction.
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 reaction in the cryptocurrency community, with supporters launching a "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 a focus of attention in the current bull market environment.
More notably, the logo of the FSC coin is an eagle. The eagle is also an element of Shayne Coplan's avatar, and the eagle is also a symbol of the United States itself, a pun, a full satire on censorship.
What's more attention-grabbing is that Shayne tweeted that this is "blatant political retaliation", the current government will hunt down companies they believe are associated with political opponents... Polymarket has not harmed anyone.
Musk then replied in Shayne's comment section the next second: "Indeed."
This undoubtedly brings more factors worth noting to this layer of MEME coins.
Anti-censorship and freedom are always the correct narratives in the crypto circle, coupled with the celebrity factor, the call for the release of the eagle is likely to continue for a while, which is tantamount to the release of Shayne.
Risk warning: MEME has no actual value support, is more affected by market sentiment, most (over 99%) MEME are PVP, and will eventually go to zero. This article is only for personal experience sharing and does not constitute any investment advice.
