Kronii Meme Coin or $KRONII is a nonexistent parody meme coin created by VTuber Ouro Kronii as a joke during a January 2025 livestream. During the stream, Kronii pretended to launch a cryptocurrency called $KRONII or Kronii coin, using nonsense crypto jargon throughout the stream. The stream inspired memes, including artwork of YouTube thumbnails that might come out if the coin was real and found to be a pump and dump, rug pull or other scam and memes about other VTubers losing money on the coin. After the stream, some people purportedly took advantage of the situation and made Kronii coins, although none of these are official or endorsed by Ouro Kronii. The parody coin was inspired by an incident that same month when Kronii's YouTube channel was hacked to promote a crypto coin.
On January 20th, 2025, VTuber Ouro Kronii's account was allegedly hacked to do a double money scam under the guise of promoting a crypto coin under the title if " Brad Garlinghouse: RIPPLE BULL RUN CONFIRMED! XRP . . . "
