PIPPIN Shrouded in Dark Clouds
$PIPPIN
1. Event Overview
On December 2, 2025, the blockchain analysis platform Bubblemaps exposed suspected insider manipulation of PIPPIN tokens (a meme coin on the Solana chain) on the X platform. As of December 3, this incident continues to evolve, with no response or clarification from the team.
The report shows that suspected insiders control 50% of the total supply through associated wallets, valued at approximately $120 million.
Specifically, 50 highly correlated wallets obtained similar SOL funds from the HTX exchange within a short period (with no prior on-chain activity), collectively purchasing PIPPIN tokens worth $19 million; additionally, 26 addresses withdrew tokens worth $96 million from the Gate exchange over the past two months, accounting for 44% of the total supply, with withdrawal peaks concentrated on October 24 and November 23. These wallets are mostly addresses with 'fresh' injected funds, closely matching the recent price pump.
