Disruptive elements accuse cryptocurrency supporters of instigating the launching of sex toys at WNBA matches.
==============================================================
The Green Dildo Coin, a meme cryptocurrency launched in late July 2025, has found itself at the centre of a series of controversial incidents involving the throwing of green sex toys onto WNBA courts during games.
The disruptions, which have occurred in cities including Atlanta, Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, appear to be part of a deliberate marketing strategy to generate viral attention for the Green Dildo Coin ($DILDO) token and its associated NFT collection.
The group behind the coin has denied any hostility towards women's sports, instead framing the events as anti-crypto protests or provocative marketing tactics to avoid traditional influencer costs.
The incidents have led to several arrests, including that of Delbert Carver, who admitted to throwing a green sex toy during an Atlanta Dream game when interviewed by police. Carver faces multiple charges.
Kaden Lopez, who allegedly threw a green sex toy during a Phoenix Mercury game, also faces charges and could not be reached for comment. However, a meme coin spokesman told NBC News that Lopez was connected to the core meme coin launch group.
The publicity surrounding these incidents has led to a surge in the price of the Green Dildo Coin, with the value held by each of the top 10 coin owners now exceeding $100,000. By Friday evening, the market cap of all the "green dildo coin" stood at approximately $15 million.
The creators of the "green dildo coin" token have yet to publicly reveal their identities, but the coin was launched by a group of crypto enthusiasts and traders with the intention of creating a humorous, lighthearted meme token.
The incidents have sparked an uproar from WNBA participants and fans, with the safety of everyone in arenas being a top priority. Anyone who throws an object onto the court will be ejected and face a minimum one-year ban, according to a WNBA representative.
The Green Dildo Coin group has been compared to the effort that helped push meme stocks like GameStop to new heights several years ago. However, the use of provocative acts for promotion has led to criticism and calls for increased regulation in the cryptocurrency market.
One of the backers of the "green dildo coin" token, who spoke on condition of anonymity, denied the scheme had anything to do with racism or misogyny. Despite this, the incidents have drawn outrage due to continuous racist and misogynist invective online.
Notably, Donald Trump Jr. posted a meme to social media showing the president throwing a green sex toy onto a WNBA court from the roof of the White House, seemingly endorsing the ongoing pranks.
The original plan was to have four individuals launch green sex toys onto WNBA courts in a single night last Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether this disruptive marketing strategy will continue in the future.
