Other Notable Celebrity-Driven Meme Coins

In recent years, several celebrities have launched their own meme coins, often to mixed results. Some notable examples include:

Akon’s Akoin was initially marketed as a solution for financial inclusion in Africa. However, the coin quickly fell under scrutiny due to a lack of clarity around project details.

SafeMoon was also hyped by multiple influencers, including basketball player Lamelo Ball and rapper Swae Lee. However, the coin faced criticism after high-profile backers like Jake Paul and rapper Lil Yachty promoted the coin before its price collapsed amidst rug-pull accusations.
