✅$YZY incident where 103 billion won disappeared in just 6 minutes
I have summarized the details of the largest meme coin loss incident in August organized by @bubblemaps in Korean.
✔️$YZY incident - Massive losses vs 11 wallets
A staggering 51,800 wallets lost $74 million (about 103 billion won)
Meanwhile, only 11 wallets made profits in the billions of won
YZY plummeted nearly 70% right after its launch
✔️Who made money?
At the center of this incident is Hayden Davis (alias Kelsier)
- The day before the launch, wallets connected to him moved funds on CEX
- The very next day, $YZY token launched
- One minute after the launch was announced (1:54 AM UTC), buying began
- Instantly made $12 million (about 16.8 billion won) in profit
📌Suspicious circumstances
$57 million (about 80 billion won) was unlocked right after the $YZY launch
A total of 14 sniper wallets were prepared → The profits they made combined amounted to $12 million (16.8 billion won)
The more shocking thing is that this is not Hayden's first time.
Similar sniping has been confirmed in past token launches like MELANIA and LIBRA.
✔️Conclusion
Most investors → 103 billion won loss
A few insiders → 16.8 billion won profit
All happened in just 6 minutes
These days, new tokens are often launched directly on Pumpfun or Solana.
