Celebrity memecoins have been on the rise recently. The likes of Caitlyn Jenner and Trippie Redd have both recently launched their own tokens, while Iggy Azalea's $MOTHER token has continued to rise in value as the rapper consistently posts about it on her social media channels.
It's worth noting that, like much of the cryptocurrency space, these tokens are incredibly volatile. Many have quickly risen in value when they're first posted about only to lose value at an even faster rate when the celebrity in question either stops posting, or a new token pops up and attention moves elsewhere.
