The Mbappe token had a major up and down due to the French football star Kylian Mbappe’s X account hack. However, this is nothing new, as many celebrities have become the victims of such hacks to promote cryptocurrencies. Earlier, popular singer DOJA Cat’s X Account hacked was regarding the same.
In the Mbappe case, the creator hacked the footballer’s account to promote the recently launched token on the pump.fun. The hacker promoted the token on Kylian’s X account, which had more than 14.4 million followers. With this, the value of the token boomed, making the market cap rise to tens of millions.
However, soon after this, the hacker sold all the token supply, rugging it to zero, crashing the token value, and putting all the holders in heavy loss.
