Hunter Biden plans to launch the Meme coin on the Base chain, which is supported by Coinbase, on September 9th. LAPTOPHowever, before its official launch, a large number of tokens with the same name were already being traded in the market ahead of schedule. On-chain data shows that the cumulative trading volume of these counterfeit platforms on several public chains has reached approximately 6.9 million US dollars.
Multiple chains have tokens with the same name
It is reported that LAPTOP will issue 1 billion tokens, of which 30% will be allocated to Biden and other co-founders. This portion of the holdings will be locked for 6 months first, and then gradually unlocked over a period of 2 years.
However, before the project was officially launched, imitation platforms appeared in the market first. The Defiant noticed that the first newly emerged LAPTOP token appeared on Robinhood Chain, and the timing roughly coincided with when news about the project began to spread. Within 53 minutes thereafter, another 22 related liquidity pools appeared, distributed across Robinhood Chain, Solana, TON, and BNB Chain.
Among them, a single version with the identifier Robinhood Chain recorded a transaction volume of approximately 5.43 million US dollars, with over 31,000 transactions. The report indicates that these tokens are not the official versions that were scheduled to be launched on Base on September 9th.
Airdrop targeted at TRUMP loss-holding investors
In the distribution design of LAPTOP, one of the most notable arrangements is the airdrop targeted at Trump Meme coin TRUMP holders who are incurring losses.
Currently, the price of TRUMP is around $2.25, which represents a decline of about 97% from its peak of $73.43 in January 2025. Previous statistics indicated that among the wallets that purchased TRUMP, there were approximately 1.48 million addresses in a state of unrealized losses. However, it is possible for a single investor to control multiple wallets, so this number does not correspond to the actual number of individuals.
Destruction conditions are linked to political events.
The project also plans to bind an additional 30% of the supply to 30 preset events. If these political or market events occur, the corresponding tokens may be destroyed. The disclosed trigger conditions include: the Democratic Party winning the 2028 U.S. presidential election, Bitcoin reaching a new high, and the market value of LAPTOP exceeding TRUMP.
If certain conditions do not ultimately materialize, the relevant tokens may be diverted for charitable purposes.
From a narrative design perspective, LAPTOP directly adopts the dissemination methods of the political Meme currency, while also including the holders of losses from TRUMP in the distribution group. Reports also mention that LAPTOP has not yet been launched and has not formed a market price; its subsequent performance will still depend on the actual demand after September 9th.
