Memecoins
Hours after the Queen passed, more than 40 memecoins like Queen Elizabeth Inu, Queen Doge, God Save The Queen, London Bridge Is Down, Queen Grow, Rip Queen Elizabeth, and Elizabeth II immediately appeared on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
One of the most famous memecoins is Queen Elizabeth Inu (QUEEN) which currently has a value of $0.0000092476 with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. With an all-time high of 0.000246703, the market cap is at $9,247.00.
While the memecoins mentioned above flooded the crypto community during the Queenโs passing, the tokens cannot be seen on crypto market and data aggregators Coingecko and Coin Market Cap.
However, Queen Doge (DOGEQUEEN) can be seen on Coin Market Cap, according to its data, Queen Dogeโs current value is at $0.0000000000005717, with an all-time high of $0.00000000001106.

NFT Collections
There are currently three NFT collections that honor London Bridgeโs name.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II, with a current floor price of 0.01 ETH, seems to show that its creator was waiting for the moment that the Queen will pass because of the 579 items available on OpenSea, and is considered a memorial collection.
Queen Elizabeth 69 Years NFT is an NFT collection that highlights the 69 years of Queen Elizabeth IIโs reign. Though the name looks like a mistake because the Queen actually reigned for 70 years, the developers did it intentionally.
โSure call us a grift or whatever youโd like but weโre going to leave this collection up for those who want verified ownership of a moment captured in time for each year of #QueenElizabeth โs amazing time as queen,โ the developers tweeted.
The third one is the Elizabeth Punks Inu, with the same intention as the collections above.
According to the official Twitter account of the project, Elizabeth Punks Inu is a โcollection of 3333 legendary Elizabeth Punks. Free Mint. No Roadmap, no Discord, no ‘utility’ just Elizabeth (RIP).โ
Though the different memecoins and NFT collections that flooded the community when the London Bridge went down drew different reactions from the community, BitPinas would like to send sympathy to the Royal Family. Rest in Peace to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
