The volatile memecoin LIBRA was created by the same team behind US First Lady Melania Trump\u2019s MELANIA<\/a> asset, according to the blockchain analytics and visualization platform Bubblemaps.<\/p>\n Argentinian President Javier Milei backed<\/a> the launch of LIBRA, a token supposedly designed for \u201cencouraging the growth of the Argentine economy.\u201d<\/p>\n LIBRA\u2019s market cap soared to $4 billion within hours before the price collapsed, and Milei backtracked his support of the coin.<\/p>\n Bubblemaps teamed up<\/a> with crypto journalist and YouTuber Coffeezilla to analyze cross-chain transfers and timing patterns for LIBRA and MELANIA.<\/p>\n \u201cIt all started when we investigated sniper activity on MELANIA. One address stood out: P5tb4, which made over $2.4 million. But something else caught our attention:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n This address sent all the profits to 0xcEA, a wallet linked to the creator of MELANIA. The transfer was done using USDC Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). There are multiple ways to connect 0xcEA with the creator of MELANIA, through funding transactions and cross-chain transfers. We\u2019re confident these aren\u2019t coincidental.<\/em><\/p>\n This means the creator of Melania \u2013 or someone close to their team \u2013 sniped their own launch. We kept a close eye on this address to track their activity. Weeks later, we noticed that 0xcEA is funding DEfcyK, the creator of <\/span>LIBRA.<\/span> Yes, the same creator of LIBRA who cashed out $87 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n To make it worse, 0xcEA also sniped <\/span>LIBRA<\/span> and made $6 million in profit, using multiple side addresses funded via CCTP. This is similar to the MELANIA case.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Bubblemaps also detected<\/a> other token launches tied to 0xcEA that were \u201cclear pump and dumps.\u201d<\/p>\n Coffeezilla later interviewed<\/a> Hayden Davis, one of the creators of LIBRA. During the interview, Davis copped<\/a> to also being involved with the MELANIA launch and sniping it.<\/p>\n Don’t Miss a Beat \u2013 Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em>   Generated Image: Midjourney<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The volatile memecoin LIBRA was created by the same team behind US First Lady Melania Trump\u2019s MELANIA asset, according to the blockchain analytics and visualization platform Bubblemaps.
