The Birth of Poopcoin
Poopcoin made its debut on the Ethereum Layer-2 network Base, introduced through a quote-post on X in response to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s recent commentary on memecoins. In his post, Buterin differentiated between offensive memecoins and those that contribute positively to the ecosystem.

Poopcoin: Market Response and Uncertainties
Within a mere ten hours of its launch, Poopcoin has witnessed staggering trading volumes, totaling over $60 million. However, despite its initial momentum, the market cap currently stands at a more modest $7 million. This discrepancy underscores the volatility inherent in the cryptocurrency space.
While the airdrop aimed to distribute Poopcoin among Doodles NFT holders and early supporters, concerns have arisen regarding the distribution of tokens. Two wallets now hold over 36% of Poopcoin’s total supply, surpassing the intended allocation for the community. One wallet, in particular, controls a significant portion of the supply and has already realized substantial profits.
Navigating Poopcoin’s Future
Despite its rapid ascent, Poopcoin’s future remains uncertain, with its value fluctuating dramatically. Castro himself has cautioned investors about the coin’s potential risks, likening its value to that of a “fresh, steaming pile of dung.” Indeed, according to CoinGecko, POOP is now nearly 80% down from its initial valuation.
Conclusion: Awaiting Developments
The launch of Poopcoin has injected excitement into the cryptocurrency community, prompting discussions about its viability and potential pitfalls. As holders of Doodles NFTs and early adopters navigate this new terrain, they remain vigilant for further updates from Poopie and his team.
Will Poopcoin defy expectations and emerge as a resilient player in the crypto market, or will its value dwindle like a passing fad? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for the latest developments on this intriguing addition to the crypto landscape.
