In the world of cryptocurrency, a new trend has emerged with the creation of meme coins inspired by the late cryptographer Len Sassaman and his beloved cats, Sasha and Odin. These meme coins have started appearing on various networks such as Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin, gaining popularity in the lead-up to an HBO documentary that promises to reveal the true identity behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.
Len Sassaman, who has been dominating the Polymarket betting pool on Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity, is now being hailed as the most likely candidate to be unveiled in the upcoming documentary titled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery.” As excitement builds around the reveal, meme coins such as LEN, SASHA, and Odin have been created in honor of Sassaman and his feline companions.
SASHA, a Solana meme coin modeled after Sassaman’s orange cat Sasha, has seen a significant rise in value, with a market cap of $1.2 million since its launch. Similarly, the meme coin named after Sassaman’s other cat, Odin, has also experienced a surge in value, reaching a market cap of $236,000 in just two days. Both SASHA and Odin meme coins are powered by the Solana network.
In addition to the cat-inspired meme coins, several tokens with the ticker LEN have been created on Solana and Ethereum, reaching a market capitalization of millions before experiencing some corrections. One LEN token, issued over four months ago and claiming to be the first on Solana, has seen a price boost recently, with a market cap of over $1.6 million as of Monday.
As the day of the HBO documentary premiere approaches, Len Sassaman’s odds of being revealed as Satoshi Nakamoto are nearly at 40% according to the Polymarket betting market. This places him ahead of other contenders, including the CEO of Blockshare, Adam Back, who has more than 7% odds. The excitement and speculation surrounding the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto continue to grow, with the cryptocurrency community eagerly awaiting the reveal in the upcoming documentary.
