In addition to celebrities directly issuing coins, scammers have found a new method: collaborating with celebrities, releasing token information, and then pretending that their Twitter was hacked to disassociate themselves. Renowned artist Kanye once mentioned that someone offered $2 million for him to release a RUG Pull meme coin. From January to now, according to incomplete statistics from BlockBeats, at least 15 celebrities from various fields have launched tokens in various ways. Apart from TRUMP and STONKS, the rest have seen price drops of over 90%.

As the overall market continues to fall, many altcoins have hit rock bottom, with many believing that a bear market has arrived. Market correction periods often signal a stage for concentrated risk release but also present an opportunity for investors to enhance their understanding and build strength. Looking back on this market cycle, the exit strategies of various whales have shown a variety of methods, and their carefully designed exit strategies are worth a deep analysis. Traditional market manipulation theories suggest that whale operations consist of only four stages: accumulation, pump, shakeout, and exit, but the core essence always lies in the precise control of market participants' emotions and behaviors.
