🪒 Reports claim the former New York City mayor drained liquidity from his newly launched meme token — allegedly scamming traders for $3.43M.

According to circulating on-chain data shared by crypto investigators, a wallet linked to Eric Adams’ token project removed the entire liquidity pool shortly after launch, leaving buyers with worthless tokens.

👀 These claims are currently unverified and based on community blockchain analysis. No official legal ruling or confirmed statement has been issued so far.

☠️ In 2025, identity-impersonation crimes in the crypto industry surged by 1,400%, while average losses per victim rose by over 600%.

Attackers are posing as exchanges and well-known public figures, combining social engineering with technical exploits. The rise of AI has made these schemes far more convincing, scalable, and profitable.

👉 Security takeaway: If a message creates urgency, asks for private keys, or offers “exclusive recovery/support” — assume it’s a scam. Always verify through official channels.

🪒 A Year Ago, Trump Launched His Own Meme Token — It’s Now Down 93%

One year ago, Donald Trump launched his own meme token, TRUMP, just ahead of his inauguration.

🎯 In the first days after launch, the token’s price skyrocketed — investors believed an asset tied to the name of a U.S. president, especially in the image of a “crypto-Trump,” was guaranteed to deliver massive profits.

But the hype faded quickly. The market reversed soon after launch, and since then the token has lost around 93% of its value, with no signs of recovery or a new rally so far.

Mass selling of Treasuries is pushing yields higher and making capital more expensive, rapidly tightening global liquidity.

👉 Historically, such dynamics first hit bonds, then equities — and ultimately deliver the sharpest impact on crypto markets.
