Vladcoin, a newly launched meme cryptocurrency, has experienced rapid and substantial price growth since its debut on May 20, 2025. Initially listed on the GMGN exchange, Vladcoin's value surged by 66% within hours and continued to climb dramatically throughout the day, reaching gains of up to 4,000%. Market commentary describes Vladcoin as a geopolitical crypto asset positioned as a digital counterpart to Trumpcoin, with Vladcoin symbolizing state control and Eurasian influence, while Trumpcoin appeals to patriotic investors. Vladcoin operates on a unique mechanism described as "proof of loyalty" rather than traditional proof of work. The coin is valued at one Vladcoin equaling 100 rubles or an oligarch's favor. It is expected to be listed soon on the MEXC exchange. Trading Vladcoin reportedly requires passing a KGB background check, emphasizing its political undertones. The coin's rapid rise has drawn attention for its parabolic price action and meme coin characteristics, sparking a crypto cold war narrative between Vladcoin and Trumpcoin.
