Cryptocurrency Marketing Strategy Erupts into WNBA Dildo Allegations Scandal
The cryptocurrency world has seen a unique marketing strategy unfold, as a pseudonymous group behind the Green Dildo Coin (GDC) has been throwing green sex toys onto WNBA courts during games. This disruptive tactic, designed to generate viral attention and meme relevance for the coin, has caused a stir in the sports and cryptocurrency communities.
The first incident occurred on July 29, during a game between Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries. Since then, the group has disrupted multiple WNBA games, with targets including the Boston Marathon, a Lady Gaga concert, and Wimbledon. These actions have been met with criticism from various quarters, including WNBA coaches. Los Angeles Sparks coach Lynne Roberts called the disruptions "ridiculous" and "dangerous."
The group's discussions in their Telegram group indicate they are "very happy" with the attention their marketing gimmicks have received. They view it as a positive for women's sports, although the broader strategy of the group beyond this disruptive marketing method remains unclear.
The GDC has gained 193.7% in the past week and is currently priced at $0.0009073. The coin's 24-hour trading volume is $1.23 million, up 28.5% from the previous day, according to CoinGecko.
The WNBA has warned that throwing items onto the court can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans. In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities.
The group behind the GDC remains unnamed in available sources. Their X account has less than 900 followers and their Telegram group just over 1,000. Notable figures such as Donald Trump Jr. have posted memes about the incidents on social media.
The disruptions have not been without consequences. Two individuals, Georgia resident Delbert Carver, 23, and Kaden Lopez, an 18-year-old from Phoenix, were arrested for their involvement in the incidents.
As of now, the group has not responded to a request for an interview. It remains to be seen how this controversy will unfold and whether the GDC will continue to employ this controversial marketing strategy.
