Reviewing the Meme Coin Neiro: Nearly $50 Million Market Cap in Two Days, Boosted by Influencer Ansem
The timing of the emergence of Neiro-related meme coins is remarkably coincidental, with some chance factors involved, but most likely driven by deliberate efforts behind the scenes.

Editor's note: In the early hours of yesterday morning, Trump’s appearance and speech at the Bitcoin Conference captured widespread attention across the crypto community. Many users stayed up late, watching closely in hopes of spotting the next viral meme coin from his remarks. However, a meme coin unrelated to Trump’s speech suddenly exploded in popularity. This token, named Neiro—after Kabosu, the Shiba Inu dog who inspired Doge, and her owner’s new pet—quietly surged moments after Trump finished speaking, absorbing nearly $50 million in volume. Deployed on both Ethereum and Solana, the Neiro meme even spawned dozens of copycat tokens. However, Kabosu’s owner clarified that she only endorses DOGE, dismissing all others as unaffiliated projects.
Crypto KOL 0xSun took to X to recount his experience tracking Neiro, buying high, and ultimately exiting profitably.
Note: Meme coin prices are highly volatile; investors should proceed with caution.
After calming down a bit, I’ll recount last night’s wild events. First, as everyone knows, Trump attended the Bitcoin Conference—an event guaranteed to spark a frenzy of meme coins. During his speech, a new keyword emerged roughly every three minutes, each spawning around ten same-theme tokens on PumpFun. The result was extremely PVP (player-versus-player), with almost none managing to break out.
Near the end of the speech, Trump said, “Never Sell Your Bitcoin.” To me, this phrase felt memorable and highly shareable. With the speech ending—and thus no more new keywords expected—I decided to buy into $NSYB at a high price with 45 SOL, thinking it would be tonight’s leading token.
Then I noticed something strange: a token called $Neiro had already surpassed $NSYB in trading volume. This surprised me because $NSYB already had very high volume. I immediately looked into it and found that Neiro was the name of the new pet owned by Kabosu’s (Doge’s original mascot) owner. At the time, its market cap was $600K.
Under normal circumstances, I’d have bought at least 20 SOL as insurance—this had strong narrative potential and was the first mover. But last night, I was overwhelmed by the flood of Trump-related PumpFun tokens, most of which hadn’t even hit $1M. That, combined with learning the Neiro news had broken just half an hour earlier, made me hesitate. I turned my attention elsewhere, and when I checked back, the market cap was nearing $3M. Now it felt too high to enter, so I watched helplessly as $Neiro skyrocketed to $45M within 25 minutes—the reason I posted my earlier tweet expressing frustration.
What’s worse, since all attention and capital shifted to $Neiro, my $NSYB quickly collapsed to zero. I then bought two of the earliest same-name tokens on ETH, betting that Doge-related tokens might benefit from historical relevance on the mainnet. So far, these two positions are roughly breaking even. This also highlights why Solana has become the new paradise for meme coins: tokens launched via PumpFun are at least contract-safe, requiring only analysis of holder distribution. On ETH, however, hidden taxes,貔貅 (scam wallets), and other malicious mechanisms remain deeply problematic.
During this time, @brc20niubi (“Brother Two”) discovered that an all-uppercase $NEIRO was actually the earliest deployment. He bought a large amount with 5 SOL, then profited over 100,000 USDT through swing trades—making him one of today’s sharpest traders. This uppercase $NEIRO would go on to become another key player in the story.
Then came the most dramatic part. Around 8 PM, Ansem woke up and tweeted, including a chart link to the lowercase $Neiro. Unable to resist FOMO, I jumped in with 80M at peak prices, while also picking up some of the uppercase $NEIRO. Then, Doge’s owner @kabosumama tweeted that she only supports @ownthedoge $dog—which holds IP rights—and that other tokens were unrelated. $Neiro dropped to around $60M, so I added two more positions.
Even more absurdly, Ansem suddenly joined the Space for the uppercase $NEIRO and began speaking. Instantly, everything reversed: $Neiro plummeted from $70M to $20M within minutes, while $NEIRO surged to nearly $40M. I liquidated my uppercase $NEIRO position, making 8,000 USDT. But my lowercase $Neiro was now down 50,000 USDT. Still, I believed such a large-cap token wouldn’t collapse in one wave, so I bottom-fished with 100 SOL at $20M. Eventually, during a rebound to $50M, I exited at breakeven. Though I spent the entire night grinding without profit, at least I avoided losses—a tolerable outcome. Twitter erupted in criticism toward Ansem; many panicked, sold at lows, or switched positions and lost money. It remains unclear whether Ansem’s actions were unintentional, a bearish play to accumulate cheaply, or a prank showcasing his massive influence.
The latest update: Ansem has now joined the $Neiro Space and endorsed it as the leader. Its market cap has recovered to $70M, while rival tokens on Solana and Ethereum hover around $5M. This is one of the most astonishing markets I’ve seen. Even during the PumpFun internal phase, many retail investors had already bought in, meaning the supply should have been relatively dispersed with significant selling pressure. For it to surge from internal trading to an $80M valuation so quickly suggests powerful backing—it’s unlikely this could happen organically. The timing was also remarkably convenient: right after Trump’s speech ended, the narrative about Doge’s owner adopting a new pet emerged, creating perfect conditions for this meme coin. While partly coincidental, it was likely driven by coordinated forces behind the scenes.
