The crypto community is increasingly embracing memecoin culture, leading to a fascinating example of how digital assets are impacting even deeply religious contexts. After the death of Pope Francis in 2025, memecoins have become a focal point for speculation about the next pontiff. Crypto enthusiasts are using tokens based on potential papal successors, church memes, and Vatican-themed imagery to vote for their preferred candidate. This novel approach has ignited discussion around how technology can reshape traditional processes like papal succession. 2025’s passing of Pope Francis will result in a complex selection process where the College of Cardinals elects the next pope. These cardinals convene in the Sistine Chapel, and with a two-thirds majority vote required to choose a successor, this is expected to be a long and arduous journey for choosing a new leader for the Catholic Church.
