Morbi pretium leo et nisl aliquam mollis. Quisque arcu lorem, ultricies quis pellentesque nec, ullamcorper eu odio.

Cardi B’s recent post about the meme token Wet A*s P*ssy (WAP) turned into a dramatic market shakeup. Within minutes, WAP’s market cap plunged from $2 million to just $150,000. The token’s price shot up to $0.0020 briefly, then tumbled over 90% back to $0.00019, wiping away almost all of this week’s gains.

Is $250K Bitcoin Possible This Year? This Research Chief Thinks So

Celebrity Tweet Sparks Chaos

According to reports, Cardi B shared a wallet address on her official X account with the caption “even wetter than last time.” That single message sent ripples through the crypto world. Prices leaped, then crashed. Market watchers were left scratching their heads as billions of dollars in value seemed to vanish in mere moments.

Suspicious Wallet Activity

Blockchain trackers spotted something odd. A handful of wallets bought big chunks of WAP just five days before the tweet. They offloaded their tokens almost immediately after Cardi B’s post, banking roughly 10 times their original stake.

So today, @iamcardib remembered that she still held a large portion of the $WAP supply and decided to run another pump and dump.

These sudden sells helped push the token’s price back down to around $0.00019. Based on reports, this pattern looks like a classic pump-and-dump. It raises questions about whether insiders planned the entire move.

History Of WAP Controversies

This isn’t the first time WAP caused trouble. Back in October 2024, Cardi B gave it a shout-out, and security firm PeckShield flagged the token for possible malicious deeds.

That earlier buzz even led to an investigation by the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority after investors raised alarms over fraud and market manipulation. Many in the crypto community thought everyone would steer clear this time. Instead, the past slipped from memory, leading to heavy losses all over again.

Investors Left Holding The Bag

In the last 24 hours, WAP’s value dropped another 80%. Now it trades near the same levels it was at the end of May. Everyday traders who jumped on the hype found themselves staring at red numbers.

Based on reports, some wallets walked away with tenfold returns in minutes. Meanwhile, others ended up with nearly worthless tokens. The speed of this rise-and-fall serves as a harsh reminder: if you buy a token right as it peaks, you might be stuck when the next crash hits.

Cardi B’s follow-up post clarified that her account was not hacked, promising more from “$WAP space” soon. Yet this explanation did little to calm nerves. Critics say it’s hard to separate the artist’s genuine interest from a planned marketing push. Some point out that even if she didn’t directly benefit, her endorsement gave insiders exactly the spotlight they needed to unload their shares.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Read more

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
