As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in meme tokens and retail trader dynamics, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and caution as I follow the latest developments surrounding GameStop (GME) and associated digital assets.


I, as an analyst, find myself transported back to 2021 as shares of video retailer GameStop (GME) experience another surge in value. The catalyst for this uptick comes from influential retail trader Keith Gill, who goes by the aliases RoaringKitty or DeepFuckingValue, and has recently shared an update on his substantial investment in the embattled stock.

As a crypto investor closely following the developments in the stock market, I’ve noticed an intriguing update regarding a notable figure named Gill. Based on a screenshot shared on Reddit, it appears that the value of Gill’s stock and options has reached approximately $586 million collectively. To add to this excitement, Gill announced a YouTube livestream scheduled for this coming Friday. Furthermore, the GameStop shares experienced a significant surge in value during Thursday’s trading session, closing with a 47% increase.

As an analyst, I’ve observed that the digital asset market experienced a wave of action similar to what we saw in other sectors. Notably, Solana-hosted meme token GME, which draws inspiration from GameStop yet holds no connection to the company, recorded a significant surge of over 80% within the past 24 hours based on CoinGecko’s data. Similarly, micro-cap AMC token, named after the troubled movie theater chain but unrelated to it, also experienced a notable increase of 83%.
In the midst of the pandemic era’s GameStop short squeeze notoriety, Gill resurfaced on social media platforms after a three-year absence, igniting a craze for memecoins. Consequently, the GME token has experienced a significant surge, reaching an over 3,000% increase since mid-May and surpassing a market capitalization of $120 million.
