Solana’s meme coin frenzy shows no signs of slowing, and the latest token to explode onto the scene is Retarded Dog Coin ($RDC). The token was launched on April 14, 2025, with the contract address is FS5RzharJL468MrhUtbriuJwjvQNWF72GYksSoz5pump, $RDC has skyrocketed from a $100K market cap to $1.31M in mere hours, boasting $15.35M in daily trading volume.
The token’s name is deliberately inspired by Retard Finder Coin ($RFC) – a $120 million meme coin that dominated Solana’s narrative in April as a provocative joke. It is widely believed that $RDC is a “meme spin-off,” mimicking $RFC’s absurdist humor to lure traders in after the next viral hit.
The overt provocation of naming the cryptocurrency “Retarded dog coin” has been offensive to some, but it has also garnered a lot of attention in the volatile cryptocurrency market. Bitrue called it “sarcastic energy,” echoing the strategy of $RFC which reached $123 million with similar sentiments.
It does not have a white paper or any details about the team behind it yet, but it is worth noting that its circulating supply of 1 billion $RDC (with no cap) and it has clear mechanics (no minting authority) suggest a fair launch, allaying fears of a carpet-dump despite Solana’s history of scams.
Retarded Dog Coin burst out of Solana’s Pump.fun platform, where tokens can be minted for ~$3, capitalizing on the blockchain’s low fees ($0.00025 per transaction) and 65,000 transactions-per-second speed. However, it also has certain risks such as being able to fall into a pump and dump situation like many other meme coins, or market risks – tariffs have affected Bitcoin in the past months and can drag meme coins down. The fact that it has no real utility will also cause the cryptocurrency to soon fall into oblivion if the community gets bored with it.
