Roaring Kitty and the Memecoin Craze
June 9, 2024
GameStop-inspired memecoins GME, KITTY, and ROAR fell by 31% when meme-stock favorite influencer “Roaring Kitty,” also known as Keith Gill, held his first live stream in three years. Gill became famous in 2021 for sparking a retail frenzy in GameStop and AMC stock prices. Officially, none of the memecoins are associated with Roaring Kitty, and the GME Solana-based memecoin has no connection to the GameStop stock trading under the same ticker.
