Ozzy Osbourne, 76, died just a few days earlier on Monday, July 21. Leading the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, which has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, he went by the moniker
"Prince of Darkness".
Right after the news of their deaths, fans flooded the internet with tributes. This also led to sudden interest in crypto tokens named after them. A token on the Ethereum chain called HULKMANAIA (HULK), made only 8 hours before the surge, went up by 122,000%.
It reached a price of $0.001335. Another token on the Solana blockchain, The Mad Man (OZZY), rose by 16,800% and reached $0.003851, with a market cap of nearly $3.85 million.

Donald Trump trade tariffs: Country-wise, product-specific taxes. Check full list
U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a global trade war with an array of tariffs that target individual products and countries. Trump has set a baseline tariff of 10 per cent on all imports to the United States, as well as additional duties on certain products or countries. China and the United States delayed higher tariffs on each other's imports for 90 days, hours before a trade truce between the world's two largest economies was due to expire Tuesday. US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that will "extend the Tariff Suspension on China for another 90 days," according to a post on his Truth Social platform. The White House said its halt on steeper tariffs will be in place until November 10. China also said it would continue suspending its earlier tariff hike for 90 days, starting August 12, while retaining a 10-percent duty, according to a joint statement. While the United States and China slapped escalating tariffs on each other's products this year, bringing them to prohibitive triple-digit levels and snarling trade, both countries in May agreed to temporarily lower them.

What impact did the Trump tariffs have on the U.S. economy and consumers? A1. The impact of Trump's tariffs was mixed and widely debated. On one hand, some U.S. industries—like steel and aluminum—saw short-term benefits from reduced foreign competition. On the other hand, many businesses faced higher costs due to increased prices on imported materials and components. Studies showed that the tariffs often led to higher prices for American consumers and retaliatory tariffs from other countries, which hurt U.S. exporters, especially in agriculture. While the tariffs aimed to bolster domestic manufacturing, the broader economic outcomes included trade disruptions and higher overall costs for businesses and consumers alike. Q2. Who is President of USA? A2. President of USA is Donald Trump.
