Crypto Insiders Frontrun Retail Traders to Turn $5000 into $7 Million from Meme Coin $FIGHT
Jul 18, 2024 at 02:02 am
Dozens of meme coins surged in the cryptocurrency market following Donald Trump's assassination attempt on July 13, including $FIGHT. Crypto insiders have benefited from the buzz to turn nearly $5,000 into over $7 million, frontrunning retail traders.
Multiple meme coins surged in the cryptocurrency market following Donald Trump‘s assassination attempt on July 13, including $FIGHT. However, crypto insiders have largely benefited from the buzz to turn nearly $5,000 into over $7 million, frontrunning retail traders.
Lookonchain detected and reported this insider trading on the Ethereum (ETH) network, highlighting a cautionary tale of this market’s dangers. Specifically, the researcher found 24 crypto wallets belonging to insiders or developers, given their suspicious and telling trading activity.
According to the Lookonchain analysis, these 24 addresses spent 1.5 ETH, valued at $4,864, to acquire 378.45 million $FIGHT. This amount represents 37.8% of the token’s total supply, with the wallets making the purchase before $FIGHT opened trading.
Picks for you
As of the report, these wallets have sold 261.6 million $FIGHT to other traders, maintaining 116.8 million of the meme coin for an unrealized profit of $7.36 million, considering the token’s nominal value.
Crypto insiders create asymmetry on $FIGHT, punishing retail tradersThis is another example of how crypto insiders often take advantage of retail by creating and launching meme coins and money-grab schemes. They benefit from information asymmetry and the hype of a market that insists on gambling with poor fundamental digital assets.
Cryptocurrencies are inherently volatile and present substantial risks for traders, investors, and users, even with solid and usable projects. However, trading meme coins adds another layer of risks that will often drain money from many to a few insiders.
Moreover, this asset class has characteristics that resemble financial bubbles. The “Greater Fool Theory” explains meme coin dynamics, being speculative tokens moved by social hype and buzz without an organic demand.
Traders buy the token with the expectation that a “greater fool” will pay a higher price in the future. Nevertheless, the scheme fades away once there are no “greater fools” to continue fueling the price up, often facing liquidity issues and death spirals.
For this reason, investors should avoid trading meme coins and projects favored by crypto insiders, looking for a cryptocurrency’s fundamentals and cautiously researching its properties.
