HayCoin’s Volume Drops 13.6% as Uniswap CEO Burns Tokens
In the last 24 hours, HayCoin had a trading volume of $6,851,166, marking a 13.6% decline from the previous day. This decline could suggest that traders aim to hold the coin in the anticipation of a price increase. However, if traders decide to sell during the bull run, the price may drop from its current value.
Before Hayden Adams burned 99% of the tokens, HayCoin hit an all-time low of $373,257 on October 18. Following the burn, the price surged by 838.82%.
Adams revealed that he initially deployed HayCoin for testing before the launch of Uniswap V1 when gas fees on the mainnet were exceptionally low. He created a small test liquidity pool with a small fraction of the total supply, leaving the rest in his wallet.
Uncomfortable with owning around 99% of the supply, Adams chose to burn the entire amount held in his wallet, which was valued at an astonishing $650 billion.
