Cryptocurrency creators are now taking credit for throwing sex toys onto the court at multiple WNBA games, saying they intended to stir up controversy and promote their memecoin.
The self-confessed dildo-throwers say they launched the memecoin Green Dildo Coin on the Ethereum blockchain on July 28, a day before the first dildo-tossing incident. After Barstool Sports reported on the group’s identity on Wednesday, the price of the coin skyrocketed.
“We knew that in order to get a voice in the space ... we had to go out and do some viral stunts to save us from having to pay that influencer cabal, sacrifice our souls and the fate of the project,” X user @Daldo_Rain, a spokesperson for the crypto group, told USA Today Sports.
Neon green sex toys have been thrown from the crowd during WNBA games multiple times in recent weeks.
The first incident happened on July 29 at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia, and seven similar incidents followed, with the latest happening on Thursday at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
