A trending crypto token endorsed by public figure Andrew Tate has outperformed a rival token introduced by rapper Iggy Azalea amidst accusations of insider trading.

Noteworthy Developments

On the contrary, Azalea's Mother Iggy (MOTHER) token has experienced a significant decline in market value, dropping to $153 million from a peak of $267.58 million on June 6. The token's price has also dwindled from $0.27 to $0.15 with a modest 7% increase in the latest trading day.

Controversy Surrounding Daddy Tate

Andrew Tate faced scrutiny following allegations of dubious insider dealings associated with the DADDY token. Crypto analysis firm Bubblemaps disclosed in a June 12 post the presence of substantial insider activity in Tate's promoted token.

Bubblemaps highlighted that insiders acquired 30% of the token supply before Tate commenced his promotions. Tate's initial post on June 9 revealed that 11 wallets procured 20% of the DADDY token supply valued at approximately $61.4 million, funded concurrently in equivalent sums through Binance. Although Bubblemaps couldn't ascertain if these wallets were connected, the timing and amounts strongly implied a collective effort.

Issue Details

The analysis firm flagged the risk posed by a concentrated wallet holding a sizable portion of the token supply, cautioning that a potential wallet dump could lead to liquidity downfall. Additional wallets associated with this group collectively possess 10% of the token supply, roughly $30 million, purchased pre-Tate's promotion.

Bubblemaps highlighted that a significant portion of Tate's token holdings (40%) remains untouched and valued at around $122.8 million, suggesting the looming potential for disposal. In response to Bubblemaps' concerns, Tate asserted his commitment to retaining his tokens without selling, opting solely for burning and acquisition.

In a parallel instance, Bubblemaps identified similar insider activities in the MOTHER token, with insiders snaring 20% of the supply before Azalea's promotional efforts.

This analysis underscores the contrasting trajectories of the DADDY and MOTHER tokens, shedding light on the controversies and market dynamics associated with their promotions.
