Citing ChainCatcher, blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps reported that Edel Finance’s EDEL token sale on November 12 saw over 30% of tokens—worth around $11 million—purchased by 60 wallets linked to the project. Co-founder James Sherborne did not deny the claims, stating it was part of a planned 60% token allocation to a vesting contract, though no public record or mention on the official tokenomics page was found. Tokens were moved through multiple wallets and Uniswap liquidity pools, a tactic often used to obscure transaction trails. Sherborne did not explain why a purchase method was used instead of direct contract transfers. Edel Finance did not respond to requests for comment.
