On January 26, Cobie posted a joke comparing metal trading to crypto, saying metal traders never have to worry about “copper inu” stealing mindshare overnight because new commodities are not created every few seconds on Pump fun.

Shortly after, the official Pump fun account replied with “be careful what you wish for.” Copper inu was launched immediately after the reply and moved quickly, reaching $500K market cap in under five minutes.

The coin then dropped below $50K before @himgajria, known for posting fartcoin early, quote tweeted Cobie with “challenge accepted,” momentum quickly reignited and the coin rose to $5M market cap in minutes.

Well-known traders immediately responded, driving the rally further, @zinceth replied to him, calling it “the fartcoin of metals.”

@himgajria kept pushing the meme, posting “Copper, not limited supply. Copper inu, limited supply.”

@boldleonidas made a cartoon of the events that unfolded, drawing attention to the meme.

@exitliquid1ty posted the coin, framing that copper inu is superior to copper.

With @himgajria spearheading the rally, copper inu climbed to $21M market cap in under a day.
