Cryptocurrency Meme Coin Creators Admit to Throwing Sex Toys at WNBA Games, Promise More “Pranks” Ahead

As reported by Meghan Hall, USA TODAY– In an unusual twist blending sports, internet culture, and public disruption, a group behind a cryptocurrency meme coin has claimed responsibility for a bizarre series of incidents involving sex toys being thrown onto the court during WNBA games.

From Atlanta to Los Angeles, no arena has been spared. Neon green objects—identified as adult toys—have been launched from the stands, interrupting games and sparking confusion among players and fans alike. The group says the objects are not random, but carefully chosen symbols meant to create what they describe as “intentional and symbolic chaos.”

Speaking exclusively with USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity, a spokesperson for the group—who goes by the name @Daldo_Raine on social media—confirmed that the acts are planned and part of a broader campaign designed to draw attention to their meme-based cryptocurrency.

“The goal is disruption. We want people to ask questions, to get confused, and then to laugh. That’s when they find us,” said @Daldo_Raine. “The WNBA courts just happen to be the perfect stage.”

According to the group, each incident is coordinated through private online channels, with volunteers—who they refer to as “projectiles of the movement”—attending games across the country with the explicit intention of launching the brightly colored toys mid-game.

WNBA officials and security teams are increasingly on alert. Multiple venues have issued statements condemning the behavior and promising stricter bag checks and surveillance. However, as of now, no arrests have been reported.

The motives of the pranksters raise serious questions about boundaries, respect for athletes, and the ever-blurring line between internet meme culture and real-world consequences.

“It’s not just immature—it’s dangerous,” said one WNBA official, who asked not to be named. “These stunts risk player safety and damage the legitimacy of the sport.”

Still, the group shows no signs of stopping. When asked if more “pranks” were planned, @Daldo_Raine simply replied: “Absolutely. We’re just getting started.”

The WNBA and its players, many of whom have spoken out about needing greater respect and support, now find themselves at the center of a viral campaign they never asked for—one that highlights the disruptive power of online communities when taken offline.
