Following the death of Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's Vice Chairman known for his disdain for cryptocurrencies, a meme coin named MUNGER was launched and saw a 31,500% increase immediately after its debut on Uniswap. The coin surged 191% in the past 24 hours but also experienced a 50% drop in the past 6 hours. The trading volume reached $3.61 million with a market cap of $73.45K. Such meme coins often capitalize on trending news but are highly speculative and risky, as creators may pull liquidity, leaving investors with worthless assets.
