What’s new? On April 12, Jordan Fish, a crypto influencer, known under the pseudonym Kobi, discovered an ETH address with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tokens purchased. An unknown person bought tokens from a list for a potential listing of the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange a day before its publication. This was reported by Kobi on his Twitter.
Details of the accusation. According to the information provided by Kobi, the wallet owner bought tokens worth around $390 000, including Indexed (NDX), Kromatika (KROM), DappRadar (RADAR), RAC (RAC), DFX Token (DFX), and Paper (PAPER).
