Conor McGregor, mixed martial arts (MMA) champion, has launched a meme coin called REAL, which will feature voting rights and staking rewards. The token was launched through a sealed bid to avoid bots taking over the bid. The meme coin was released with the help of Real World Gaming DAO.“This is not some celebrity-endorsed bullshit token”, wrote McGregor, “it is a REAL game changer that will change the crypto ecosystem as well as make REAL change in the world. The sealed-bid auction is the new way of launching a token to prevent rug pulls and snipers. This is about transparency – we show the world how it is done with integrity”.During an interview, McGregor mentioned that he aimed to create a memecoin with transparency and integrity.“I changed the FIGHT game”, wrote McGregor on X, “I changed the WHISKEY game. I changed the STOUT game. Now it’s time to change the CRYPTO game. This is just the beginning”.The REAL whitepaper outlined a staking plan to reward users who participate regularly and stake large sums of money, gaining extra status points and possibly earning a revenue bonus. REAL aims to align the industry with consumers’ experiences, hinting at a possible collaboration.Memecoins have become more popular lately, especially with theTRUMP token. Elon Musk has continued to promote Dogecoin while creating the DOGE department at the White House. Analysts believe that a crucial element to the success of a memecoin is whether it has a cult following. For this reason, McGregor’s token may have a chance, due to how many dedicated fans he has in the MMA community. However, a rising star in UFC could presumably create a memecoin and outshine McGregor’s REAL token. Crypto investors are continuing to buy memecoins alongside their traditional investments. The SEC declassified memecoins as securities and instead likened them to trading cards.In 2016, McGregor became the first fighter in UFC history to hold two championship titles at the same time, winning the Lightweight Championship, beating Eddie Alvarez, and boosting his status as a prized fighter. McGregor continued to build a large fan base despite ongoing injuries due to his vibrant charisma and business ventures, including his own brand of Whiskey called Proper Number Twelve.REAL, including staking rewards, may indicate that the project wishes to increase participant engagement, boost the time consumers engage with the project, and promote the fan base of McGregor and MMA. REAL has not yet published token metrics such as locked value and liquidity. Collectors may also wish to wait for any further information about regulatory standards regarding the token because such can indicate whether the memecoin will be less volatile over time.In 2017, McGregor faced boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Junior in a highly promoted boxing match. Although McGregor lost, the match drew many pay-per-view revenues. McGregor can still draw a large crowd despite having mixed results with his bouts and continued injuries.
