In April 2025, as U.S and China trade tensions escalated with new tariffs, the Chinese Embassy in the US was mocking America with a meme “Bang” over the new tariff policy.
This leads to the community creating the new meme coin called “Bang”. The U.S and China trade war reignited in April 2025 with President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff hikes. On April 9, Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%, up from 104%, citing “lack of respect” for global markets, per his Truth Social post. China retaliated swiftly, imposing 125% levies on U.S goods starting April 11 with officials like Mao Ning calling Trump’s strategy “as a joke.”
The Chinese Embassy in the US immediately retaliated by posting a satirical cartoon of Trump’s poor treatment of other countries, showing an American man hitting another person on the head with a stick and making a “Bang” sound.
Bang ($BANG), a Solana meme coin launched on April 12, 2025 was inspired by the “Bang” meme, with contract addresses CEK3J5DavCqqn3bV1smLZz7LxJR5eaRN5KxCxDZBq7SG and GJk4joXxKKEX8Gnz7ugADVY8J1hRbv9AJhRmEqSA1mg.
The token has surged to $3.3 million market cap with $17 million in 24-hour volume, driven by 1,993 buys and 2,239 sales in minutes. Its non-mintable structure and 12.8% top-ten holder distribution suggest a fair launch, but its lack of utility marks it as a pure speculative play.
The “Bang” meme has become a satirical weapon, amplifying nationalist sentiment and highlighting the chaotic interplay of crypto, geopolitics, and internet culture.
The political war between China and the United States has created a lot of interesting online joke culture. Bang is one of them. Can you guess what will happen with Bang in the future?
