In a week already brimming with global headlines, crypto traders found a bizarre new star: $POTUS, short for Pope of the United States. It’s a token born out of death, AI imagery, and political spectacle and somehow, it's trending.
Pope Francis passed away just days ago, shaking the religious world. While the Vatican prepares for its next chapter, former President Donald Trump decided to share an AI-generated image of himself dressed as the pope on Truth Social.
The post went viral. @WhiteHouse picked it up. Then @POTUS, the official account of president Donald Trump, retweeted it. In the same breath, someone launched $POTUS on Solana, and it took off like incense smoke in a cathedral.

Pope of the United States ($POTUS) is a meme token with no team, no utility, and no roadmap — just pure narrative power.
The lore writes itself: the real pope dies, Trump declares himself the virtual pope, and crypto reacts faster than a Vatican chimney can puff white smoke. With its satirical name and absurd premise, $POTUS taps into the perfect storm of religion, politics, and crypto culture.
Here’s how the market played out:
All-Time High (ATH): $2.1 million
Current Market Cap: ~$1.4 million
Dexscreener Rank: #5 trending
Within the first hour, $POTUS shot up to $1.7 million, crashed to $270K, bounced back to $1.7 million, then dipped to $560K before spiking to its ATH of $2.1 million.
Crypto X (formerly Twitter) is ablaze with surprise, laughter, and speculation. There have already been 2,400 posts about the token on X.
Some trenchers are claiming it to be a good narrative and it might run hard

$POTUS isn’t just a coin, it’s an absurdist cultural snapshot minted into blockchain history. Its future is unpredictable, but it’s undeniably a product of its moment. And in meme coin land, that’s sometimes all it takes.
