PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Cryptopolitan, blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps accused Edel Finance of snapping up 30% of the token supply ($11 million) during its token offering earlier this month. Their report shows that approximately 160 linked wallets coordinated funding through Binance and MEXC, completing the purchase through a multi-layered new wallet structure before trading began. Half of the tokens were transferred to 100 secondary wallets linked to MEXC. These wallets employed a uniform obfuscation strategy, and the secondary wallet addresses were explicitly included in the contract code, proving they were deliberately hidden. Furthermore, Edel failed to disclose this operation on Telegram, Twitter, or in official documents, raising concerns about transparency. Edel co-founder James Sherborne responded that the team plans to acquire 60% of the token supply and then lock it in a token vesting contract. However, Bubblemaps countered that their token economics only allows the team to acquire 12.7% of the tokens through a 36-month vesting plan (including a 6-month lock-up period). Bubblemaps argues that if Edel were sincere, it should allocate the tokens in advance according to token economics rather than using a hidden strategy, questioning the rationale behind their operation. It is understood that Edel Finance aims to bring traditional stocks to on-chain lending, and the team includes former employees of State Street Bank and JPMorgan Chase.PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Cryptopolitan, blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps accused Edel Finance of snapping up 30% of the token supply ($11 million) during its token offering earlier this month.

Edel Finance's affiliated wallet has been accused of "buying up" 30% of the token supply, and its co-founder has denied the allegations.

IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge!

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
