What’s going on with crypto? What’s the state of play with meme coins? And is the market about to crash?

Katie Byrne, Money editor with the Irish Independent, joins Adrian on this week’s episode of The Big Tech Show.

Adrian began by discussing Trump coin, Donald Trump’s meme coin which has reportedly made 350 million dollars since its launch. The money editor told Adrian that after announcing his crypto project, there was a pattern showing that people had got the news at least 24 hours before the meme coin news was announced. The money expert explained that by the time the news of the meme coin was shared on truth social, the insiders had gone in made their money and exited.
