Memecoins inspired by the late wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne have beenkyrocket as tribes flooded two popular deaths of icons this week.
Terry Bollea, better known by his wrestling ring name Hulk Hogan, was reported to be pronounced dead at a hospital on Thursday at the age of 71 after medics came to his home to answer a call about a possible heart arrest.
The days just came after Ozzy Osbourne, the hard-party frontman of the English rock band Black Sabbath, died Tuesday at the age of 76.
Hogan was the most popular wrestler in WWF, now WWE, in the 1980s, and has a career that has been driving decades, both in the ring and throughout the television and film.
Osbourne, often called the Prince of Darkness, is considered an icon in the music world and is seen as an iconic heavy metal musician. The Black Sabbath is estimated to sell 75 million albums worldwide.
Hulk, Ozzy Memecoins Soar
An Ethereum (Weth) token called Hulkmanaia (Hulk) rose more than 122,000% at its climax to trade to 0.001335, according to the Dextools aggregator data. It was created only eight hours ago.
At the same time, coins that appear to be trying to use Osbourne’s resemblance also pop up, with a known as Mad Man (Ozzy) pumping over 16,800% to trade at $ 0.003851 and hit a market cap of $ 3.85 million.
His passing also caused a climbing to the unspeakable token market as fans hurried to buy one of his officer Cryptobatz collection.
None of the new tokens are connected to the estates of either human, and many disappeared as quickly as it appeared, the rug probably pulling.
Another Hogan coin launched last year
A Solana Memecoin, Hulkamania (Hulk), which was launched on June 6 last year, spent more than 2000% in the last 24 hours, to trade at $ 0.0006146, and reached a market cap of over $ 500,000, according to Dextools.
Despite the spike, it is still far from the $ 18.8 million peak of the market, which it reached after Hogan’s X account promoted the token last year. The posts eventually deleted, and Hogan claimed that the posts were not made to him.

Memecoins often adhere to popular deaths
This is not the first time a flood of Memecoins was made following a popular death.
Memecoins who used the name and line of former NFL players and condemned Felon OJ Simpson soon after he died in April 2024. Former state secretary Henry Kissinger in November 2023 also spoiled some memecoins in bad taste.
Meanwhile, fans of both Osbourne and Hulk flooded the tribes this week, calling the wrestler the greatest of all time and the musician was a one-of-a-kind Rock God.
