After drama on India’s Got Latent, fake Beer Biceps and Samay Raina memecoins popped up on Pump.fun, pumping fast before crashing. Traders jumped on the hype, just like they did with Elon Musk’s “Harry Bolz” and Saif Ali Khan’s controversy. In crypto, virality = quick cash grabs.
The internet loves drama, and crypto traders love profiting off it. After the India’s Got Latent controversy involving YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia (Beer Biceps) and comedian Samay Raina, memecoins using their names flooded Pump.fun.
Two of the biggest ones, BEERBICEPS and Justice for Ranveer Allahbadia (JFRA), saw quick pumps—BEERBICEPS spiked 35% before crashing back to its launch price, while JFRA jumped 22% before fizzling out. Both had tiny market caps of around $5,500, meaning they were just quick speculative plays.
Samay Raina wasn’t spared either—tokens in his name also appeared, hitting a market cap of just $5,625. The whole thing started when India’s Got Latent aired roast segments featuring Ranveer and Samay, leading to a police complaint. As soon as the news dropped, crypto traders seized the moment, launching memecoins to cash in on the virality.
This isn’t new—when Elon Musk changed his X name to “Harry Bolz,” a flood of Harry Bolz memecoins hit the market. After news of Saif Ali Khan’s attack, fake tokens in his name appeared too. In the crypto world, every viral moment is just another pump-and-dump opportunity.
