Hayden Davis, who is alleged to be the mastermind behind the contentious launches of the LIBRA and MELANIA tokens, has introduced a new cryptocurrency named WOLF.
This new token launch comes despite Davis being the focus of an Interpol alert, according to a blockchain analytics firm.
A thorough investigation conducted in partnership with a YouTube investigator revealed that fund transfers linked Davis to the creation of WOLF. This token appears to have associations with Jordan Belfort, a former stockbroker best known for inspiring the Martin Scorsese film “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
“Through our collaboration with the YouTube investigator, we uncovered Hayden Davis as the mastermind behind LIBRA, MELANIA, and several other tokens. We expected his days of launching new tokens were behind him, but we were mistaken,” stated the analytics firm in their findings.
The YouTuber in question, known for creating exposé videos about the crypto market, has garnered a following for his investigative work.
Analytics firm identifies Davis through blockchain investigation
WOLF gained traction after being promoted by a WallStreetBets account on March 8. The token rapidly attained a market cap of $40 million before facing a steep decline, seemingly following a typical “rug pull” scheme.
Blockchain scrutiny revealed that 82% of the token’s supply was controlled in a single wallet, a telltale sign of deceitful token launches.
Further analysis traced back several transactions to confirm that Davis was the individual behind it. “We began with the $WOLF creator address 6MsuHd and followed funding transfers back through 17 addresses and 5 cross-chain transfers. All ended at one address: OxcEAe, which is owned by Hayden Davis,” the report elaborated.
The inquiry uncovered that Davis had orchestrated the launch months in advance. “He financed these wallets well ahead of the $LIBRA and $WOLF launches, channeling funds through 17 addresses and 2 chains,” the firm clarified.
Davis’s actions have attracted international legal attention due to his link with the LIBRA meme coin. Following an endorsement from Milei, LIBRA’s market capitalization soared to over $4.5 billion, only to plummet by more than 99% to around $18 million.
Afterward, blockchain analysts disclosed that certain insiders, including Davis, had offloaded significant portions of the token soon after its endorsement by Milei.
An Argentine prosecutor has requested a judge to issue an Interpol “Red Notice” for Davis, expressing concerns that his financial means might enable him to evade justice. The Red Notice would render Davis sought after on an international scale.
