Memecoin trend linked to sex toys thrown at WNBA games leads to arrests
Two men, Kaden Lopez and Delbert Carver, have been arrested for allegedly throwing sex toys onto the court during WNBA games, a prank linked to the Green Dildo Coin (DILDO) memecoin. The unusual trend has resulted in five incidents over two weeks, with the last taking place in Chicago. Daldo Raine, a spokesperson for the memecoin group, claimed the actions were meant as lighthearted protests against toxicity in the memecoin culture, aiming to spark attention in a struggling market. However, WNBA players and coaches condemned the acts as disrespectful and dangerous. Carver faces charges such as disorderly conduct, while Lopez reportedly participated after seeing the trend on social media. The memecoin market has dropped significantly, now valued at $70.6 billion, reflecting a notable decrease from its peak. The WNBA's code of conduct prohibits fans from throwing objects onto the court, with potential criminal consequences for violators.
