Kanye West's YZY Tokens Worth $12M Stolen by LIBRA Intermediary: Bubblemaps Report
In an intriguing turn of events, reports suggest that Hayden Davis, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency world, acquired $12 million worth of Kanye West's memecoin YZY a day before its official launch.
According to the Unchained Daily newsletter, Bubblemaps, a blockchain analysis firm, has uncovered new onchain evidence that reveals a cluster of wallet addresses linked to Davis. These wallets were allegedly funded by centralized exchanges a day before the YZY token's launch.
Bubblemaps traced these wallet addresses to Davis through a combination of funding transactions, shared deposits, and CCTP transfers. CCTP transfers refer to transfers of crypto assets between different wallets owned by the same entity.
The report also implies that Davis made his profits from YZY as early as 1:54 AM UTC, just one minute after the announcement of the memecoin's launch. Insiders are reported to have bought large amounts of YZY shortly before its official launch for the same $12 million.
Interestingly, a day before the YZY launch, $57 million worth of USDC assets were unfrozen for Davis and Ben Chow. The assets were regained by Davis and Chow, known for their roles in LIBRA and YZY, due to a judge's ruling that there was insufficient proof of "irreparable harm" on the part of Davis and Chow against LIBRA victims.
However, the report does not provide information about the reason for Hayden Davis acquiring Kanye West's memecoin YZY or mention any legal implications or actions taken in response to this transaction.
This news serves as a reminder of the dynamic and fast-paced nature of the cryptocurrency market, where transactions can significantly impact the price and value of coins in a matter of minutes. As always, it's crucial for investors to stay informed and make informed decisions.
