Crypto group claims responsibility for green sex toy stunts at WNBA games

The referees paused the game and security quickly removed the item. Videos of the incident took social media by storm, with commentators raising concerns regarding security of players and staff. However, it has now been revealed that the incidents were part of a stunt to promote a new cryptocurrency.
Crypto group claims responsibility for dildo stunts
The group behind these stunts has claimed that they planned these stunts to promote their new cryptocurrency called 'Green Dildo Coin.' In an interview with NBC News, a member of the group said their plan was to promote the new crypto in a fun manner and not to hurt anyone or cause problems.
The group reportedly planned for four people to throw the green sex toys onto WNBA courts in one night. However, only two of the planned throws were successful, while one person was arrested while trying to pull off the stunt. Despite the backlash and arrests, the crypto group has said that their plan was successful because it made people notice the coin and talk about it.
'Our group is put together to make people laugh, make memecoins fun and funny again, and try to revive a culture of crypto that's been lost. People are talking about it. They're seeing it in places relevant to everyday society. It's why pranks are important to spreading the message — it's about providing a cool, new, safe place for memes,' the member said.
In one incident during a game between the Phoenix Mercury and Connecticut Sun at PHX Arena last week, an 18-year-old was arrested for trying to throw a dildo onto the court. Kaden Lopez is accused of throwing the object, which landed in the stands near him. It reportedly hit a man who was watching the game with his son. The man and PHX Arena are now planning to sue Lopez.

Clark was then a part of the Iowa Hawkeyes. The duo showed their prominence then and have now made it to the top teams of the WNBA. While Clark has been credited with the growth of the WNBA, Reese believes that it was not just Clark and her contributions alone. In one of her interviews, she stated, ' I'll look back in 20 years and be like, the reason why we're watching women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. I want y'all to realize that.' This is not the only instance of disagreement. Their rivalry was fueled time and again during on-court and off-court clashes.
