Meme coin HENRY soars 320% after 'time traveler' account predicted shooter's name

The Ethereum-based meme coin HENRY has surged 320% after a 2023 tweet that appeared to predict the name of a White House shooter went viral. According to BeInCrypto, the original post was made in 2023 by an account named Henry Martinez and contained only the name 'Cole Allen.' The tweet also included a collage featuring a Pepe meme and a photo of U.S. President Donald Trump at a dinner. After a shooting incident on April 25, the gunman was identified as Cole Tomas Allen. The 2023 post then spread rapidly online after the account owner reposted it, referring to themselves as a 'time-traveling Pepe,' which coincided with the sharp rise in the HENRY meme coin's price. Additionally, several copycat Solana-based meme coins imitating the original HENRY have since emerged.
