Yep, you read that right. This token appeared almost *immediately* after the suspect was arrested and has already raked in nearly four million dollars. Because, why not?

Degens Get Creative: Introducing Tyler Robinson Memecoin

So, just when you thought 2025 couldn’t get any weirder, the FBI, Utah Governor Spencer Cox, and Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith announced the arrest of 22-year-old electrician apprentice Tyler Robinson-accused of killing political activist Charlie Kirk in cold blood. Naturally, memecoin enthusiasts *did their thing* and minted a coin named after Robinson on Pumpswap Friday afternoon. If only they put this much energy into other hobbies. 🤑

(The memecoin “TYLER” is currently trading at $0.0004633, up 336% from launch, with a trading volume of $3.88 million. That’s some serious crypto action, folks! / geckoterminal.com)

The tragic incident took place during Kirk’s “American Comeback Tour” at Utah Valley University, where he was known for sparking debates on just about everything. Oh, and in case you’re wondering-Robinson had apparently become a bit more political recently, according to a family member. He also apparently had a casual chat about how much he disliked Kirk’s views-because, why wouldn’t you just casually talk about your political grievances before allegedly committing murder? 🙄

To add even more fuel to the fire, after Robinson’s identity became public, the memecoin juggernauts were quick to cash in, minting “TYLER” like there was no tomorrow. And guess what? The coin skyrocketed in value, because that’s what happens when you mix tragedy with crypto. 😅

Governor Cox mentioned that Robinson was convinced by his own family to turn himself in, after a nationwide manhunt ensued. But hey, Robinson’s family isn’t the only one doing some fast work-memecoin creators were already cashing in on his infamy. TYLER’s trading volume at the time of writing? A jaw-dropping $3.88 million. So, maybe crime *does* pay… if you’re quick enough to make a memecoin out of it. 👏
