Jude Bellingham is having the tournament of his life at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. A Solana meme token named after him is having the opposite experience.
The $JUDE token, which launched on Solana with zero official backing from the England midfielder, peaked at roughly $0.00062 before cratering approximately 98%. For anyone keeping score at home, that means a $1,000 bet at the top would now be worth about $20.
Bellingham’s World Cup run has been absurd
On July 7, 2026, Bellingham scored twice in the span of 98 to 99 seconds against Mexico during the group stage, helping England claw back to a 3-2 victory. During England’s group stage match against Croatia, Bellingham found the net again in what turned out to be a comprehensive 4-2 win. Then came the quarterfinals against Norway on July 11. England looked destined for elimination until Bellingham scored in stoppage time to level the match at 1-1.
The $JUDE token: a 98% lesson in due diligence
