YouTube star Jimmy "MrBeast" has been the talk of the town, as his Amazon Prime series, Beast Games, is just around the corner.

The series is scheduled to premiere on December 19, 2024.

As anticipation for the game show grows, netizens on social media platforms such as X reported that a Beast Games-themed meme coin has begun to gain traction.

The cryptocurrency coin bearing the same name as MrBeast's Amazon Prime series, Beast Games (BG), has appeared on the blockchain. As of this writing, it is worth $0.004664, or 0.0000000461 Bitcoin. Furthermore, BG has a volume of $3.39 million and an all-time high per coin of $0.005053.

Here's what netizens on X had to say about the meme coin:

"MrBeast is hosting one of the biggest events ever on YouTube called BeastGames. This meme coin was made for the official event 22 days ago and is sitting at a $3M MC (market cap), which I believe is guaranteed to go $10M or higher in the next few days," X user @trenchxen tweeted.

"It is just the beginning, tomorrow it will reach $100 million MC $BG. We may not compete on Beast Games, but we will gain as much money as the winner," X user @CryptoLeo2030 wrote.

"Okay my thoughts: Meme coins are an attention economy. Mr Beast, love him or hate him, is one of the best marketers in the world. His series launches Dec 19th. Currently sitting around 2.2 mil mcap. Think it could go much higher as people start looking for a way to capitalize," X user @lightningHODL in their tweet dated December 16, 2024.
