"What Davido launched is called a meme coin, which is most often associated with popular trends and celebrities.

"This type of cryptocurrency is very volatile and not advisable for investment. As you can see, the value of the coin has depreciated by over 90% in hours. It may rise again, depending on its popularity, and fall just as quickly as it rises."
