Jude Bellingham has officially joined the England camp ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Somewhere on the Solana blockchain, an unofficial meme token bearing his name has done the opposite of arriving.
The 22-year-old Real Madrid midfielder reported to the national team in early June as England prepares to face Croatia in their opening match. His personal market value sits at roughly $152 million, making him one of the most valuable footballers on the planet.
Meanwhile, a Solana-based meme coin called $JUDE, which traders apparently created to capitalize on World Cup hype, peaked at approximately $0.00062 before plummeting by about 98%. In English: for every $100 someone put in near the top, they’d be looking at about $2 left.
The $JUDE token and the meme coin playbook
The $JUDE token had no official connection to Bellingham, no endorsement from England’s Football Association, and no utility beyond pure speculation.
