The counterfeit token is up 27,000% in an hour. It was mistakenly invested $ 2 millionThe developer André Cronier, known for creating a cryptocurrency that has risen by 100,000%, announced a new project. Unknown persons have already released more than 10 of its clones, one of them was bought by investors
Renowned designer Andre Cronje issuing risen in price per 100 000% token YFI, announced in his blog a new product - Deriswap. This is a decentralized platform, users of which will be able to trade cryptocurrency and derivatives.
Although Cronje did not blog about the development of a new token related to Deriswap, within hours of the announcement, unidentified individuals released more than 10 Deriswap cryptocurrencies and added them to the popular DeFi exchange Uniswap. This is a decentralized exchange, anyone can place their coins on it.
Uniswap users, probably wanting to make money on Cronje's new project, began buying Deriswap tokens issued by unknown persons. As a result, one of the fake tokens has risen in price by more than 27,000% - from $ 0.6 to $ 160. According to astrotools.io , traders invested about $ 2 million in this coin. But some of these funds could have been invested by the creators of the clone token to inflate its rate.
There is a risk that the clone will fall in price from $ 160 to 0, and its holders will lose all their invested funds. There are currently 6,000 fake Deriswap tokens circulating on Uniswap. At the same time, another 155 thousand tokens, according to etherscan.io , are on the wallet of the counterfeit creators. They can transfer their holdings of an asset to the exchange and sell, thereby devaluing the coin. This usually happens with all fake cryptocurrencies. A similar situation arose with the Polkastarter token, then unknown persons created 14 fakes of it within 24 hours after the ICO.
