PNUT drives "animal rescue" narrative as Jorgie and the eagle become small-cap Meme darlings | Today's Meme Angle Showcase
The most righteous episode.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsWritten by: TechFlow
Good morning, esteemed PNUT holders.
Another day waking up to PNUT's surge. While congratulating (and envying) the lucky PNUT holders, FOMO is flooding today’s market.
If you examine the sector breakdown closely, you’ll notice that although the overall market shows a slight downward trend today, Memes are galloping ahead.
Among them, PNUT and FRED naturally stand out. The former has rapidly surged past a $200 million market cap, impressing all with its price action; the latter has also begun its own rally after listing on Moonshot.
PNUT needs little introduction—it originated from a controversial incident: a网红 squirrel was captured and euthanized without proper public consultation, eventually evolving into a political controversy centered around animal rights and civic expression.
Likewise, FRED was created in memory of the second squirrel found dead, “Frederick.”
In the West, politics means attention; within the narrative core, animals seem to mirror the protection of personal rights.
The convergence of external attention and internal narrative inevitably triggers FOMO overflow after such "god-tier" launches. Capital unable to get on board now seeks similar narratives and themes.
Thus, today we see this “animal rescue” narrative spawning new Meme coins, attempting to ride fresh waves of public sentiment following PNUT’s squirrel saga through different real-world incidents.
Jorgie: The Monkey Taken by Police ($Jorgie)
At what appeared to be an ordinary car accident in Dallas, police unexpectedly discovered a spider monkey named "Jorgie Boy." The monkey belonged to local influencer Brandi Botello, and this accidental crash forced her separation from her beloved pet.
According to reports from Dallas News, authorities found Jorgie Boy to be malnourished and underweight upon inspection. More importantly, privately keeping monkeys is illegal in Dallas. Based on animal welfare concerns, police immediately decided to remove Jorgie Boy from the scene.
This incident sparked outrage on social media. Jorgie’s owner, Brandi, launched a “Free Jorgie Boy” campaign, aiming to draw public attention to the case.
Meanwhile, within Tesla owner communities, the story has been widely discussed, with users posting hopes that Elon Musk might notice Jorgie’s plight. Notably, Musk himself follows these Tesla forums—whether he will respond to a monkey case remains anyone’s guess.
Against this backdrop of anticipation, multiple Jorgie-themed tokens emerged yesterday, triggering a battle between capitalizations:
OG Jorgie:

Suspected syndicate-backed Jorgie:

Yet the market has made its choice. Despite ongoing community support, OG Jorgie remains shaky as of publication time. Meanwhile, the so-called syndicate version appears to have pulled ahead, currently holding a ~$15M market cap, with extremely high trading volume and number of holders.
Whether the monkey can be rescued remains uncertain. But for degens trying to catch the next wave after missing the squirrel train, this is their calculated play.
Free Shayne Coplan (The Eagle): Petition Following Polymarket Founder’s Arrest
Free Shayne Coplan:

Current Market Cap: $37M
Free Shayne Coplan is another trending Meme coin today, but it runs deeper than simple animal rescue—it carries a certain tone of “expressing ideals through symbols.”
The token features an eagle—not because an actual eagle was arrested, but because it symbolizes Shayne Coplan, founder of Polymarket, the prediction platform that gained fame during election forecasting.
Today, FBI agents raided Shayne Coplan’s home.
Bloomberg reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the company over allegations of illegally providing Polymarket services to American users.
The FBI raid triggered strong reactions across the crypto community. Supporters launched a “Free Shayne” movement and created a dedicated token in solidarity—an echo of the recent “Free Jorgie Boy” campaign, reflecting the crypto world’s sensitivity toward regulatory crackdowns.
More broadly, this highlights the persistent regulatory pressure facing the crypto industry, especially in sensitive areas like prediction markets and online betting. Polymarket had previously engaged with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over compliance issues and demonstrated “substantial cooperation.”
Right now, the entire crypto community is watching closely. A story that began in prediction markets and escalated into law enforcement action has turned the corresponding Meme into a focal point of attention amid the current bull market.
Notably, the FSC token logo is an eagle. Eagles are not only part of Shayne Coplan’s avatar but also symbolic of America itself—a clever double meaning that maximizes satire around censorship.
What further intensifies attention is Shayne’s tweet calling it "obvious political retaliation," claiming the current administration targets companies perceived as linked to political opponents... "Polymarket harmed no one."
Elon Musk instantly replied in the comments: “Indeed.”
This undoubtedly adds even more intrigue to the Meme.
Anti-censorship and pro-freedom will always be the correct narrative in crypto circles. With celebrity involvement layered on top, the call to “free the eagle”—and by extension, free Shayne—is likely to persist for some time.
Risk Warning: MEMEs lack fundamental value, are highly susceptible to market sentiment, and the vast majority (over 99%) are PVP games destined to go to zero. This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute any investment advice.
