McDonald’s McRib finally returns and the crypto community is excited for one big reason

by

Good news for McRib fans! McDonald’s has announced the popular sandwich will be back on sale November 11th, but only for a limited time. The return has created a buzz not only among fast-food lovers, but also surprisingly, within the crypto community.

The McRib sandwich has a surprisingly popular – and somewhat quirky – history. It first came out in 1981, but wasn’t very successful and was taken off the menu after only four years. Ironically, this is what started the buzz around it! Now, whenever the McRib returns, fans rush to McDonald’s to enjoy its unique combination of saucy pork, onions, and pickles on a toasted bun.

McDonald’s announced the McRib is back on November 10th. According to Guillaume Huin, a Senior Marketing Director, the McRib generates more online discussion than any other limited-time menu item – even more than their regular offerings, based on activity on X (formerly Twitter).

However, the McRib’s return has taken an unusual turn. Apparently, it’s become surprisingly popular within the cryptocurrency trading community, according to Huin.

The McRib is welcomed back by crypto traders

Interestingly, and completely separate from McDonald’s, the McRib has recently become a popular topic of conversation and a symbol within online trading and cryptocurrency communities.

There’s a curious observation that Bitcoin and the S&P 500 have often increased in value following the re-release of the McRib sandwich – this was noted in 2017, 2020, and 2021. Interestingly, when the McRib was brought back in December 2024, Bitcoin reached a record high price.

The McRib is back at most McDonald’s locations across the US starting November 11th! It’s our most talked-about limited-time menu item online – even more so than our regular menu items, especially on X (formerly Twitter). Interestingly, and completely separate from McDonald’s, the McRib has recently experienced a surge in popularity…

While there’s no actual connection between the seasonal McRib sandwich and Bitcoin’s price, some people are noticing a pattern and speculating about a link. Bitcoin investors are eager to find any sign of what might move the market, and they’re now tracking the McRib’s availability like a financial chart.

The return of the McRib is sure to generate excitement, and it might even influence the cryptocurrency market – at least, if past trends hold true. Whether or not it leads to another surge in crypto prices remains to be seen, but the sandwich is definitely creating a stir.
