MMA champion Conor McGregor launches his own memecoin

MMA champion ( mixed martial artist ) Conor McGregor officially launched a memecoin called “REAL” on April 5th, featuring staking rewards and voting rights for token holders.

According to the sharing from the project team, the token “REAL” is issued through a closed auction format to eliminate the interference of bots and token hunters, ensuring fairness in the initial distribution process. The project is developed in collaboration with the decentralized autonomous organization Real World Gaming DAO.

“This is not a type of trash token associated with a celebrity. This is a REAL revolution, bringing real change to the crypto ecosystem and the world. The closed auction format is a transparent and fair way to launch new tokens, avoiding rug pulls and bot interference.”

“This is about transparency – we want the world to see the right way of doing things, with integrity,” McGregor affirmed.

Although the super cycle of memecoins may be over, savvy investors are still actively seeking profit opportunities from these highly speculative coins.

Nansen researcher Nicolai Sondergaard shared that the “smart money” crowd is still trading memecoins - but mainly with the goal of quick profit-taking rather than long-term holding.

Sondergaard explained that the recent lively activity in the memecoin market primarily stems from the “fun to play” mentality of seasoned traders, while waiting for a clearer macroeconomic picture.

The strong tax policies imposed by President Donald Trump and the retaliatory responses from trade partners have created an unstable environment for risky assets, causing capital to shift towards safe-haven assets.

Just after Trump’s broad tariff order, the US stock market lost $5 trillion – a one-day loss that is greater than the entire current market capitalization of cryptocurrency.

However, amidst the wave of concerns about a prolonged global trade war and the risk of economic recession, the price of Bitcoin remains strong above the 80,000 USD threshold.

The stability of Bitcoin during chaotic market periods shows that more and more investors are viewing BTC as a store of value asset – rather than a risk asset as it was perceived before.
