"F**k it, we ball. $150,000 to the first person to definitively prove the identity of the creator of $DJT," Arkham Intelligence posted to X on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the DJT token began surging, presumably due to an unsubstantiated report claiming that the former U.S. president had launched the coin. The token was up over 300% in the past 24 hours to $0.02185 as of 5:31 p.m. EST, according to GeckoTerminal. The coin generated more than $472 million in trading volume during the same period.
Martin Shkreli, the controversial executive who gained notoriety for once boosting the price of a life-saving medication and wound up in prison for securities fraud, appeared to make claims online that Trump's team or family is, in fact, behind the DJT token.
Alex Wice appeared to have taken on Shkreli’s $1M wager that $DJT was in fact, a real Trump token. Apparently anyone can get in on the wager at 5:1 odds on Polymarket.
These were the biggest headlines in the meme sector of our industry, today. Wth 🤦
What do you guys think?
UPDATE: Martin Shkreli created the coin. Bounty awarded to ZachXBT https://x.com/arkhamintel/status/1803471430727901455?s=46&t=d5nuVMonz8BX6y7xSWK5ag Show Less
