A photograph of a shopkeeper guarding his damaged store during riots in France became the inspiration for PIERRE, a meme coin launched on Solana, according to Bitcoin.com News.

The image shows a long-haired man wearing a black T-shirt at the entrance to a damaged video game shop. Its circulation online provided the basis for the token's theme.

Bitcoin.com News reported that PIERRE rose 155-fold over roughly nine hours on Sunday. The supplied report did not specify the trading volume or liquidity behind that increase.
