Benzinga - In light of the third-party candidate’s fringe popularity, particularly with crypto audiences,$RFJK token has relaunched as $Bobby Politifi Meme Token (BOBBY), trading on Uniswap. The announcement was made at Consensus 2024.
The meme coin project has sponsored Kyle Kemper’s Kennedy24 bus, which will be parked in front of the Consensus event venue in Austin, TX, from May 29 to May 31.
The team will hand out Kennedy24 and $Bobby merchandise to the event attendees, along with “a few other surprises.”
The Hill recently averaged results from 165 surveys, showing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has the support of about 8.3% of respondents.
Kennedy has been a vocal supporter of cryptocurrency and recently said in a tweet: “Cryptocurrency is the off-ramp for our addiction to the Federal Reserve. It’s the best hedge against inflation.”
The $Bobby Token originally launched earlier this year at ETH Denver as $RFKJ and hit an all-time high with a $35 million market cap. The coin has been rebranded to "Bobby," which Kennedy is affectionately called by his friends, family, and supporters.
The $Bobby Token has already donated almost $100,000 to Kennedy-aligned causes and is becoming a leading force in pro-Kennedy social media circles.

Kennedy has frequently articulated his support for cryptocurrencies, highlighting their potential to combat inflation and provide independence from government and monopolistic banking systems.
"Cryptocurrency takes control away from the government and from the monopolistic banking system, which uses money printing to shift wealth upward to the oligarchy of billionaires while impoverishing regular Americans," he said.
The $Bobby Token project positions itself as a movement that leverages memes and the blockchain to create a vibrant community, amplify important causes, and provide support through donations.
Independent presidential candidate, Kennedy, was eliminated from contention for the Libertarian Party’s nomination Sunday in the first ballot, ending his chances of getting the backing of the Libertarian party before the November election.
Quoting a 12-year-old deposition, the New York Times said Kennedy stated a doctor had told him he had an abnormality on his brain scan that "was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died." Kennedy made light of the revelation, tweeting: “"I offer to eat 5 more brain worms and still beat President Trump and President Biden in a debate.”
