GameStop (GME)
“The stock that broke Wall Street, reincarnated on-chain.”
This article is about the internet meme. For the original Solana memecoin, see GameStop ($GME).
GameStop (GME) GameStop memecoin is themed after the 2021 GameStop short-squeeze saga and the Roaring Kitty (Keith Gill) meme. On Solana, GME spiked in May 2024 alongside Roaring Kitty's surprise return to social media.

Spread

Legacy
