Hailey Welch Faces Backlash Over $HAWK Meme Coin Collapse

Hailey Welch, known for her viral "Hawk Tuah" meme, is facing criticism after launching a cryptocurrency that saw a dramatic rise and fall in value. On Wednesday, Welch introduced a $HAWK meme coin on the Solana blockchain. Initially, the coin’s market cap soared to $500 million but quickly dropped to $60 million, an 88% decline, according to Express Tribune .
