New tokens launched on decentralized exchanges on the BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum over the past 24 hours include names such as Queen Elizabeth Inu, Save the Queen, Queen, QueenDoge, London Bridge is Down and Rip Queen Elizabeth.
Data from Dex Screener, the Queen Elizabeth Inu token on BSC-based PancakeSwap has since had the biggest price value gain over the past 24 hours, with an eye-watering 28,506% pump to $0.00008000 at the time of writing.
An NFT collection entitled “Queen Elizabeth 69 Years NFT” has apparently also been created. The collection purports to offer one picture for every year of the Queen’s reign. Reasons to doubt the project’s intentions include the fact that Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years, not 69.
The crypto community, ordinarily remarkable for its gallows humor, mostly bristled at the projects. “You’re going to hell,” stated NFT enthusiast ThreadGuy when learning about the NFT collection. “We’ve got to stop this crypto shit,” said trader Byzantine General.
Queen Elizabeth was born in 1926. The longest-reigning British monarch ever, she died at the age of 96 in Balmoral Castle.
