Henry ($HENRY), an Ethereum-based meme coin, rallied nearly 320% on Monday. A viral 2023 post appeared to predict the alleged White House shooter’s name, fueling “time travel Pepe” speculation.
Wallet trackers show the token’s market cap is somewhere between $500,000 and $1.8 million. Extreme volatility persisted throughout the session.
White House Shooter Conspiracy Sparks Pepe Frenzy
On April 25, 2026, a gunman identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, rushed a Secret Service checkpoint. The incident happened at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
One agent was struck in his protective vest before Allen was subdued and arrested.
Within hours, online sleuths resurfaced a single dormant X (Twitter) post from December 2023 by the account @HenryMa79561893.
The post contained only the text “Cole Allen” alongside a glitchy collage. The image featured Pepe the Frog and US President Trump at a formal dinner.
The official Pepe (PEPE) account on X quote-tweeted the post on April 26 with the caption “time travel pepe.” That endorsement drew hundreds of thousands of views and routed speculators toward meme coin plays tied to the prophecy theme.
On-chain observers noted the $HENRY contract had been deployed roughly 342 days earlier. The token was repurposed around the Henry Martinez narrative just before the rally.
Some traders called the rebrand a fake-OG move, while others defended it as the original deployment. HENRY meme coin rallied by almost 320% on this news, and was trading for $0.0001173 as of this writing.
Copycat HENRY tokens have also surfaced on Solana, with most traders treating the Ethereum version as the original prophecy.
It is worth noting that the rally may not hold, as such momentum often depends on continued attention from the broader community.
However, fresh details about Allen could further invigorate volatility, potentially undermining the durability of the time-travel narrative.
