News has emerged regarding the launch of $WCUP, a FIFA-themed token, as concerns rise over 95% of its supply being held by more than 30 newly created wallets. These wallets received funds from centralized exchanges just 30 minutes prior to the token’s listing. Using the Uniswap Router, they distributed tokens to 2,500 new addresses, likely to obscure the origin. The project’s documentation only vaguely mentions “presale and partner allocations,” with no on-chain evidence linking these allocations to the development team. Paid KOL promotions and a lack of transparency are raising significant red flags.

PANews, June 11: According to Bubblemaps, the FIFA-related token $WCUP, which launched yesterday, reached a peak market capitalization of approximately $50 million, with 95% of its supply immediately acquired by over 30 new wallets at launch. These wallets, which had no prior on-chain history, were funded via multiple centralized exchanges within the half-hour preceding launch and subsequently used the Uniswap Router to distribute the tokens to over 2,500 new addresses in an apparent attempt to obscure connections. Bubblemaps noted that the project’s documentation only vaguely references “pre-sale and partner allocations,” with no direct on-chain links to the team; however, such extreme concentration combined with undisclosed KOL paid promotion arrangements presents significant risk.
