OG meme becomes a big meme coin
TROLL ($TROLL) (contract address 5UUH9RTDiSpq6HKS6bp4NdU9PNJpXRXuiw6ShBTBhgH2), a meme token on Solana, as of May 17, 2025, at 02:39 PM +07, has a market capitalization of $11.6 million. The trade volume of the token in a 24-hour period is $3.3 million, with its all-time high (ATH) market capitalization of $41.9 million.
The $TROLL meme is the first Troll Face, which everyone presents as an “OG” of meme heritage. Originally created by OaklandArtist, a.k.a. Carlos Ramirez, in 2008, Troll Face emerged as a cultural icon in early internet meme history to signify internet trolling as much as light-hearted tomfoolery. With its history traced in records of internet history like Know Your Meme, the meme first emerged in a comic strip titled Rage Comics, in which it was used to depict humorous or provocative scenarios. With its widespread usage in forums, social media, and early internet society, it became a meme standard, making it a top candidate as a meme-inspired token in cryptocurrency.
$TROLL rides on nostalgia, capitalizing on the sustained strength of the Troll Face to appeal to cryptocurrency traders, particularly those who have witnessed the arrival of the internet era. The token branding takes advantage of the comic appeal of the Troll Face, which should resonate with traders interested in humor as well as nostalgia over internet memes. While currently $11.6 million market cap short of its $41.9 million ATH, $3.3 million trading volume indicates sustained interest, which signals growth in the future as meme coins gain traction.
$TROLL’s venture into Solana’s ecosystem addresses the timelessness of the internet’s most recognizable symbol, a legacy carried by a meme coin that started as a meme. It continues to intrigue the cryptocurrency audience, combining humor, nostalgia, and speculation in today’s meme token realm.
