A lucky trader bought $341 of a World Cup-themed Solana meme coin in mid-May, when it had a market capitalization of less than $40,000. Since then, the token has soared more than 30,000%, with the trader notching 14,000% gains after selling more than $49,000 of their holdings.
World Cup Coin launched on May 11, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which starts in June—and has historically been the most-watched sporting event in the world. Alongside this token, meme coins for each nation competing in the tournament were launched on Solana token launchpad Pump.fun—though it’s important to note that this is not an official FIFA World Cup project.
