The $ANSEM saga dominated the market lately: airdrops, whale fumbles, and a $7.5M paper-hand story. We also revealed a celebrity-endorsed scam, called out a serial KOL, gave Polymarket credit for clean damage control, and warned of $LAB's first unlock.

The $ANSEM Week

The 2nd biggest holder of $ANSEM bought 2.8% of supply ($3M) on June 16, before Ansem's endorsement. By Jun 29, side wallets had dumped $500k and were selling bags every 30 to 45 minutes, still holding ~$1M. The main wallet stayed untouched.

Ansem airdropped $6.7M of $ANSEM to 700+ wallets.

At the time of our post, there were:

  • 110k holders
  • 94% in profit
  • 12 up $1M+
  • 1,500 up $10k+
  • 100k small holders in profit

A cluster of 4 wallets bought 2.7% of $ANSEM on launch day, sold off on June 19 for ~$2,000, then watched the token rip to $170M FDV. Those bags would have been worth $4.7M . (X post)

Our Investigations🧵

$FITNESS, the Jay Cutler (that wasn't)

The Solana $FITNESS project used a paid motivational video from 4× Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler as if he endorsed their token. He didn't. The info onchain told the rest: top holders tightly clustered, all funded from the same CEXs in tight windows. Classic bundled launch with a celebrity sticker on top. (read thread)

$TOES, Gordon's Greatest Hits (or not so much)

Influencer Gordon is promoting yet another bundled memecoin. Insiders held 66% of $TOES. The cluster pattern is identical to the $BULLISH pump from November 2025, where insiders also controlled ~70%. Same wallets, same playbook, same KOL. (read thread)

$TRUMP Profiteer that bet it all on Argentina

Someone called gud.hl on Polymarket realized $1.9M flipping $TRUMP at launch, then wired the whole bag into a single position: "Argentina to win the 2026 World Cup". 12 million shares at an average entry of $0.10. If successful, he'd get $11.2M payout. He's also been the largest single holder backing Argentina on the market. (our thread)

Industry Watch

Polymarket damage control (kudos)

A 3rd-party vendor got popped, a malicious script briefly hit the frontend, and a handful of wallets bled. Fewer than 15 accounts hit, ~$3M in losses, all being refunded in full. Polymarket moved fast, removed the dependency, and disclosed cleanly. This is how it's supposed to work.

The $ETH long that ate itself

0x6c85 closed a $ETH long in April at the local top for +$17M. Days later, he re-entered with a $90M long (he still holds it). He is now down $25M to $27M. (x post)

Intel Desk: $LAB

$LAB is down 60% 95% in just a few days. Paper profits on the presale were ~$500M at the time of our last post. The first cliff unlock lands on July 14. The first real unlock: August 14. The presale raised $1.43M from 313 participants.
