Meme Coin Based on White House Shooter Conspiracy Rallies 320%

The Ethereum-based meme coin, Henry ($HENRY), experienced a significant rally of nearly 320% on Monday. This surge was attributed to a viral 2023 X (formerly Twitter) post that appeared to predict the name of the individual who rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 25, 2026. The post, containing the text "Cole Allen" and a glitchy collage featuring Pepe the Frog and President Trump, was amplified when the official Pepe account quote-tweeted it with the caption "time travel pepe." This sparked widespread speculation and directed traders towards meme coins associated with the prophecy theme. The $HENRY token, which had been deployed approximately 342 days prior and was recently repurposed around the 'Henry Martinez' narrative, saw its market cap fluctuate between $500,000 and $1.8 million amidst extreme volatility. While copycat tokens have emerged on Solana, the Ethereum version is largely considered the original. The sustainability of this rally remains uncertain, as it relies on continued community attention and could be impacted by further details about the shooter.
