Details on the Elizabeth Whoren Meme Coin

The Elizabeth Whoren token featured a logo using Warren’s likeness. Its website described the token as a “community driven DeFi Meme Token” and claimed it had no affiliation with Warren herself.

The coin’s creators said they wanted it to “get the community together and poke fun at the establishment.” However, they also acknowledged that Warren has made “many great contributions” and stated they did not want the token to become a “bullying meme.”

Coinbase’s Promotion and Removal of the Page

Coinbase had hosted a page promoting Elizabeth Whoren that described it as the “crypto community’s response” to Warren’s criticism of crypto. The page provided details on how to purchase the token.

After crypto industry critics and media outlets noted the page, Coinbase removed it. A spokesperson said the company strives to be apolitical and that the page should not have been published.

Warren’s Critiques of the Crypto Industry

Warren has been an outspoken critic of the cryptocurrency industry. In hearings and public statements, she has warned about crypto’s risks and volatility.

The senator has also criticized crypto executives and questioned whether sufficient regulation and consumer protection exists in the industry. She has advocated for regulating crypto similarly to traditional financial services.

Reaction in the Crypto Community

Many in the crypto community criticized Coinbase’s promotion of the Elizabeth Whoren token as immature and likely to further antagonize regulators like Warren.

Others defended the meme coin as representing valid critiques of Warren’s policy stances regarding crypto. They saw Coinbase’s removal of the page as the company bowing to public pressure.

Final Thoughts

The brief appearance and quick removal of the Elizabeth Whoren page highlighted ongoing tensions between the crypto industry and policymakers over regulation. It also demonstrated risks for companies like Coinbase trying to balance serving crypto users and appealing to a mainstream audience.
