As of December 29, GMGN data shows the Base layer-2 meme token *thenickshirley* has continued surging—hitting a peak market capitalization of $9.142 million just 17 hours after launch. It’s currently trading at roughly $5.84 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $8.7 million. The token’s issuer, Nick Shirley, is a 23-year-old independent journalist and YouTube content creator. On December 26, 2025, he dropped a 42-minute investigative video titled *“I Investigated Minnesota’s Billion-Dollar Fraud Scandal”*—which quickly went viral, racking up 80+ million views and sparking nationwide controversy. The token launched at 5 PM ET on December 28, so it’s been live for less than 24 hours as of this report. BlockBeats notes that meme coin trading is extremely volatile, driven mostly by market hype and sentiment—with no real-world value or use case. Investors should be fully aware of the significant risks involved.
