Former Brazilian football star Ronaldinho Gaúcho has issued a warning to the crypto community about fake memecoins using his name. In a post on the X platform, Ronaldinho said:
“Please beware of fake memecoins that are popping up these days bearing my name. No official tokens have been released yet. To the entire crypto community: Stay tuned, because we will be posting important news here soon.”
The announcement sparked speculation about Ronaldinho’s potential involvement in the crypto space, though no further details were revealed. The celebrity could soon launch a memecoin in his name.
Ronaldinho’s statement comes at a time when celebrity-related scams are on the rise in the cryptocurrency market. Recently, a number of X accounts belonging to high-profile individuals were hacked and used to promote fake memecoins. Investors should be careful and verify information from official sources before engaging with any token.
Recently, names such as Donald Trump, Melania Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei have launched their own memecoins, and a significant portion of investors have suffered serious losses.
