MrBeast, who is known on YouTube with over 320 million subscribers, is also under heavy public criticism due to allegations in the crypto market. In addition to fake videos, problematic employees, and illegal lotteries, particular focus is on MrBeast’s crypto dealings. We detail the crypto events associated with MrBeast and the earnings he has obtained.
MrBeast and Crypto Wallets: Tracing the Mysterious Portfolio
Researchers have reached over 50 crypto wallets allegedly belonging to MrBeast, finding strong evidence of insider trading. Preliminary findings suggest that MrBeast may have conducted “pump and dump” schemes that could mislead investors for multiple crypto tokens.
One of the most striking examples involves the crypto wallet “0x9e67D018488aD636B538e4158E9e7577F2ECac12,” where he made purchases of tokens like ERN (Ethernity Chain) and then achieved high returns.
MrBeast has reportedly made a large profit through Ethernity Chain (ERN), an NFT trading platform. It is claimed that MrBeast bought ERN tokens in the presale, then sold them after raising prices. In this process, revenue from a single wallet reached $4.65 million. He earned significant profits in 2021 by selling ERN tokens through three different sub-wallets.
MrBeast’s brand was featured on the ERN website. MrBeast took a large amount of tokens from the ERN presale, then accumulated more tokens afterward. About half of the ERN tokens were transferred to the 0x2eB7 address, with the remainder sent to the 0x9b00 address. Shortly after, these two wallets sold their tokens, yielding a total return of $1,835,033. Five months later, MrBeast took the next token allocation and sold them on the market, earning $2,976,277. A few months later, he received a smaller token release and held onto it this time.
