BOBBY Token Launches at Consensus 2024 in Support of RFK Jr
The Bobby Politifi Meme Token, trading on Uniswap under the ticker BOBBY, had a high-profile relaunch this morning at Consensus 2024.
The event, now taking place in Austin, Texas, marked a new phase for a token that has matured from simply memetic currency in an influential movement that supports Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vision for the future of cryptocurrencies.
The May 29 relaunch event showcased the token’s transition and its broader mission.
“$Bobby is more than just a token; it is a movement that resonates with the ideals of independence in the face of a captured, secretive and centralized government,” the press release reads.
The token sponsored Kyle Kemper’s Kennedy24 bus, stationed at the Consensus headquarters, as part of the launch celebrations. Kemper and the BOBBY team engaged attendees with products and a series of surprise activities to raise awareness and support.
Initially launched at ETH Denver under RFKJ, BOBBY reached a peak market capitalization of $35 million earlier this year.
“This strategic move highlights the project’s commitment to listening to its community and evolving to better meet its needs and aspirations,” the statement read, explaining why the rebranding to BOBBY reflects the nickname used by Kennedy supporters.
BOBBY is officially trending on DexScreener.

The announcement also introduced Kemper as a new advisor for the BOBBY token. Kemper, a figure in the cryptocurrency industry with over a decade of experience, is expected to improve the token’s direction and community involvement.
“I am thrilled to join the $Bobby team as an advisor,” said Kemper. “The vision behind $Bobby aligns perfectly with my beliefs about the power of decentralization to bring about positive change.”
Kemper’s involvement aims to promote further community development and global awareness through new cryptographic solutions. His recent interview on The Tucker Carlson Network he emphasized his defense of freedom and the potential of blockchain to create a new society with greater participation.
