Jude Bellingham just did something absurd. The England midfielder scored two goals in 99 seconds against Mexico in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16, turning a tense knockout match at Estadio Azteca into a highlight reel. His first came in the 36th minute, a header off a Bukayo Saka cross. The second arrived in the 38th minute, a tap-in from a Harry Kane assist.
England went up 2-0 before Mexico managed to claw one back. Bellingham now has four goals in this World Cup. He’s 23 years old and playing like he owns the tournament.
But here’s the thing. While Bellingham’s on-field value keeps climbing, a Solana-based meme token that tried to ride his fame has done the exact opposite. The $JUDE token, an unofficial asset with no connection to the player, previously crashed 98% after an initial wave of hype.

The $JUDE token popped up during earlier stages of Bellingham’s World Cup run, fueled by Man of the Match performances and the general frenzy that surrounds global sporting events. Speculators piled in. Then, as speculators tend to do, they piled right back out.
