Attention, CR7 fans! 🚨 Millions were lost in a scam involving a fake token of Cristiano Ronaldo. 😱 Understand how this happened and what you need to know to protect yourself! 🛡️
Rumors that CR7 🇵🇹 would launch his own memecoin circulated online last weekend. 🌪️ The speculation was enough for several fake tokens to emerge on the Solana blockchain. 💻 The most viral, driven by influencer posts 🤳, reached a market capitalization of $143 million in just six minutes! 📈🚀
But the joy was short-lived. In just nine minutes, the token plummeted 98%, leaving thousands of investors at a loss in a classic "pump and dump" scheme. 📉💔
The Role of Influencers and the Mechanics of Fraud 🕵️♂️
According to the analytics company Bubblemaps, it was all an organized effort. 🤝 A group of content creators used their platforms to promote the address of the fake contract, attracting investors with the promise that it was Ronaldo's official coin. 🤯 Minutes later, quick and coordinated sales caused the price to plummet. 📉
Cristiano Ronaldo and Binance: What is Official ✅
It's important to remember: Cristiano Ronaldo's only official partnership in the crypto world is with Binance, since 2022. 🤝 This collaboration resulted in four NFT collections, but never included any memecoin-type cryptocurrency. 🙅♂️ CR7 himself has not made any posts on social media about launching a token. 🚫
Final Warning: Protect Yourself! 🛡️✨
The case of the fake cryptocurrency "CR7" is an important reminder of the dangers of FOMO (fear of missing out) and celebrity associations. ⚠️ To avoid scams like this, remember to:
* Always verify with official sources. 📢
* Be cautious of anonymous contracts that go viral on social media. 📱
* Remember that Cristiano Ronaldo's only real connection to Web3 so far is his NFT collections on Binance. 🖼️
