Safereum rug pull shook the DeFi community, as developers sold $1.27 million in tokens, causing more than 94% price crash. The actions indicate an exit scam, emphasizing the need for DeFi caution and regulatory oversight to protect investors.
The world of decentralized finance (DeFi) has been shocked by the Safereum exit scam. Safereum's developers executed a series of suspicious transactions, causing the value of SAFEREUM tokens to plummet over 90% within hours. This move involved the sale of over 700 ETH, worth approximately $1.27 million at current market prices. Then, Safereum, originally promoted as a meme-based cryptocurrency project with a security focus, has gone silent on its official Twitter account, website, and Telegram channel since the incident.
The suspicious activity unfolded mere hours after Safereum concluded a fundraising event for its derivative token, Safepad, netting a substantial $600,000 from eager investors. The sudden disappearance of liquidity and the vanishing act of Safereum's development team strongly point toward an exit scam, leaving the crypto community in shock and disbelief.
As a result of the alleged exit scam, the SAFEREUM token price plummeted from $0.000014 to around $0.0000008, leaving investors reeling and with little hope of recovering their lost funds.
