Hunter Biden Is Launching LAPTOP Meme Coin on Base

Hunter Biden is stepping into the crypto spotlight with plans to launch a new meme coin called LAPTOP. The token is scheduled to go live on Coinbase's Base network on September 9. The project takes direct inspiration from the infamous laptop tied to the 2020 election controversy. Biden confirmed the launch on his X account shortly after reports broke, sharing the official ticker and release date.

Tokenomics for LAPTOP include a total supply of one billion tokens. The founding team will hold 30 percent, which is locked for six months before a gradual two year release. Another 20 percent is set aside for airdrops targeting subscribers, mailing lists, and wallets that took losses on Donald Trump's TRUMP token. The remaining supply is split between liquidity, legal costs, exchange reserves, and future token burns tied to political and market milestones.

Traders should watch out for scams while waiting for the official contract address. Within an hour of the initial news, dozens of fake LAPTOP tokens popped up on chains like Solana, BNB Chain, and TON, pulling in millions in volume despite having no official backing. Always double check contract addresses before making any trades as the official launch approaches.
