Well, in a plot twist nobody saw coming (except maybe the internet), the recent passing of Pope Francis has sent a Solana-based meme coin named LUCE skyrocketing by a staggering 134%. Yes, a crypto token inspired by a Vatican mascot is now the financial equivalent of that one relative who suddenly becomes popular at family reunions.
According to the meme coin tracking wizardry known as GMGN.Ai, LUCE, which launched just a few months ago alongside the Holy Year mascot announcement, leapt to a daily high of $0.02517 before settling back to a modest $0.015 at press time — which, for meme coins, is basically a rollercoaster. If you’re wondering, no, the Vatican did not sponsor this coin. In fact, they’re probably still figuring out what TikTok is.
LUCE managed to amass a market cap of over $80 million within 48 hours of its October 2024 debut, making it an instant darling among the “pump.fun” crowd—because nothing says holy like fast cash and speculative mania. Currently, it’s sitting on a market cap of about $15 million, with liquidity just shy of $2 million, and being held by nearly 45,000 traders. If you think that sounds like a cult following, you’re not wrong. The token’s daily trading volume touches $40.7 million, likely fueled by caffeine, memes, and sheer bewilderment.
Of course, responsible voices have slapped a 100% rug pull warning on this sucker, which in crypto-speak means “Buyer beware: your money might vanish faster than a miracle.”
Despite this meteoric rise, LUCE’s weekly performance resembles a rollercoaster designed by a sadist, plummeting nearly 40%. The recent spike came shortly after the Vatican confirmed Pope Francis’ passing from what sounds like a rather unholy bout of double pneumonia. Notably, he made a brief public comeback on Easter Sunday, blessing the masses like a real-world emoji of hope before the final exit.
The crypto world, never missing a beat (or an opportunity), also rolled out a parade of new Pope-inspired coins: Francis (up 115% in just one hour), POPE, RIP POPE, and the minimalist RIP featuring the late pontiff’s visage—because nothing says sacred reverence quite like speculative tokens named after recently deceased religious figures. 🕊️💸
