Bubblemaps: Sniper Detected in WET Presale, Over 70% of Addresses are Associated with Their Wallet
On December 5, Bubblemaps revealed the identity of the WET sniper: Ramarxyz (@ramarxyz). The individual secured 70% of HumidiFi’s token allocation during the presale by deploying over 1,000 wallets and is now seeking a refund from the project team.
Per Bubblemaps, of the 1,530 addresses involved in the presale, at least 1,100 are linked to the same entity. The sniper covered its tracks by funding thousands of new wallets via a centralized exchange (CEX), with each address receiving exactly 1,000 USDC ahead of the presale. However, one address was mistakenly funded from the private wallet 547Wwc. Later, $150,000 was received from address AUG2N—also funded by 547Wwc—which is tied to the Twitter account @ramarxyz.

CZ: Binance Junior idea is similar to Trump's "Trump Accounts," the former is not yet available to U.S. users
**Binance Junior: CZ Links to Trump Accounts (No U.S. User Targeting)**
On December 5, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated in an X post that Binance Junior is comparable to "Trump Accounts," adding the platform does not currently cater to U.S. users.
Launched two days earlier (December 3), Binance Junior is a family-focused cryptocurrency app that lets parents set up sub-accounts for children aged 6–17 (or older, per local regulations). Key features include parental oversight, a kid-friendly interface, and a flexible savings tool to support long-term family wealth planning.
Trump Accounts are a child investment vehicle created under the 2025 *Working Families Tax Cuts Act* signed by former President Donald Trump. Tailored for American kids, the accounts offer long-term savings and investment opportunities—blending traits of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and 529 college savings plan, with an emphasis on tax benefits and flexible usage.
