“Insiders bought 30% of the supply at launch before Andrew Tate started to promote it on X,” the firm said in a Jun. 12 post on X.
All of these purchases were funded through Binance, and had “nearly identical amounts at the same time,” Bubblemaps added.
The firm added that it was unable to confirm whether these purchases belonged to the same group of investors, but said “the timing and amounts strongly suggest they do.”
Andrew Tate Says He Will Never Sell Tokens Sent To His Address
Bubblemaps said a small concentration of wallets hold one-fifth of DADDY’s supply and warned that if those wallets started selling it “could crash” the crypto’s liquidity.
