News about the potential room-temperature superconductor dubbed LK-99 is a story that has gripped a much wider audience than the science genre usually reaches. The incredibly broad appeal of this news, which could have far-reaching impacts on our everyday lives, has now permeated the less-than-serious cryptocurrency community. An LK-99 meme coin was established a few days ago, and it is doing a roaring trade. In its first 24 hours of trading, the LK-99 coin surpassed $3 million in trading volume.
Meme coins are cryptocurrencies that sometimes become popular due to the enthusiastic reception for the thing or idea they represent. Famous meme coins include Dogecoin, and we have also seen tokens based on Pepe the Frog, Floki, and Harry Potter catch the zeitgeist. Obviously, LK-99 looked like a good opportunity for the foundation of a new meme coin, and Coin Telegraph notes that several LK-99 coins have been listed on the decentralized exchange Uniswap.
