Twitter Down Sparks Memecoin Surge — Did Crypto Just Win the Internet?

Earlier today, Twitter experienced a global outage, leaving millions of users disconnected—and meme coins took the spotlight.

While hashtags like #TwitterDown trended worldwide, opportunistic crypto traders poured into related meme tokens like $TWT, $GM, and even niche Twitter-inspired coins. Some of these tokens saw gains over 120% in just hours, riding the chaos-driven hype.

Analysts believe this sudden spike highlights how crypto reacts instantly to real-world events, especially on platforms deeply tied to culture and conversation.

Interestingly, some users even joked that decentralized social networks built on blockchain could be the solution to centralized outages like Twitter’s. Projects like Farcaster and Lens Protocol quietly gained attention during the downtime.

While Twitter is now back online, one thing is clear: crypto’s memecoin army is fast, reactive, and more culturally plugged-in than ever.
