DADDY insider trading controversy
The milestones achieved by the Solana (SOL)-based token have sparked suspicion, particularly regarding insider trading claims.
Bubblemaps, an on-chain analytics firm, provided controversial data suggesting that insiders bought 30% of the supply at market launch, just hours before Tate began promoting the token on X. Additionally, Bubblemaps reported that Tate sent 40% of the total supply to a wallet but promised not to sell any of his tokens.
However, concerns persist about a potential crash if Tate decides to sell his holdings, valued at over $60 million. These concerns are heightened by the fact that similar incidents have occurred with other celebrity-related meme coins.
For instance, the MOTHER token, linked to rapper Iggy Azalea, crashed by over 50% from its all-time high. This crash allowed DADDY to surpass MOTHER in market capitalization.
Meanwhile, Tate has vowed to help push the token’s market capitalization to $1 billion. He has also alleged that once the market cap hits a point where the 40% he holds is worth $100 million, he will burn it.
DADDY price analysis
Meanwhile, the coin has experienced a significant price decline, marked by high volatility and substantial downward movement. Despite a slight recovery towards the end of the period, the overall trend remains negative.
As of press time, DADDY had corrected almost 22%, while over the past 24 hours, the token is down less than 1%, trading at $0.18.
A review of the weekly chart shows initial support around the $0.24 level, which eventually failed. The price found temporary support around $0.15 before recovering slightly and currently faces resistance at $0.20.
