Andrew Tate’s foray into the world of meme coins has taken a dramatic turn. Recently, Tate burned over 400 million DADDY coins (DADDY), a move he described as “legendary” and a “game-changer” during a live stream. However, a closer look reveals a potentially messy situation, raising questions about the true motives and potential for a rug pull.
While the coin burn aimed to reduce supply and theoretically increase the value of remaining DADDY coins, the actual market impact is questionable. The burned coins translate to roughly $114 million, but this figure exists primarily on paper. DADDY’s current market liquidity – the readily available amount for buying or selling – sits at a mere $2.5 million. If Tate had attempted to sell these coins instead of burning them, the market would have likely experienced a significant crash.
Reaching for a Billion Dollar Dream? Insider Activity Paints a Different Picture
Tate seems to envision a much brighter future for DADDY, publicly projecting a $1 billion market cap (currently around $165 million according to DEX Screener). However, recent insider activities paint a contrasting picture, potentially setting the stage for volatile price movements.
Insider Profits and Suspicious Activity Cast a Shadow
On-chain analysis platform Lookonchain revealed a concerning insider transaction involving the sale of 15.14 million DADDY coins for $1.74 million in Solana (SOL). This insider reportedly acquired these coins for a mere $1,950, resulting in a staggering 2,875x profit. Additionally, blockchain data analytics firm Bubblemaps detected suspicious trading patterns around the time of DADDY’s launch. Before Tate’s promotion, insiders reportedly acquired a concerning 30% of DADDY’s total supply, potentially positioning themselves to manipulate the market.
The Looming Threat of a Rug Pull
These insider activities raise red flags about the legitimacy of the project. If any of these whales (wallets holding a large amount of cryptocurrency) decides to sell, DADDY’s liquidity could be severely impacted, causing a dramatic price drop. This scenario, known as a “rug pull,” would devastate investors who have bought into the project based on Tate’s claims.

The Verdict: Buyer Beware
While Andrew Tate’s coin burn might generate hype, the lack of liquidity and concerning insider activity suggest a risky investment. Investors should exercise extreme caution before putting money into DADDY and thoroughly research the project and its team. Remember, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
