CZ Statue Memecoin Crashes After 27,000% Spike as Zhao Warns 'Don't Buy'

On-chain data shows more than a thousand wallets still hold the near-worthless token.

Overview

  • The token surged roughly 27,000% to about $0.175 before plunging around 99% to near zero.
  • Trading volume reached approximately $1.2 billion before the collapse, according to CoinDesk.
  • Changpeng Zhao publicly distanced himself from the project, posting on X: “Don’t buy the meme.”
  • Roughly 1,177 on-chain addresses remain holders following the crash, reflecting widespread retail losses.
  • Observers raised unproven claims that the contract functioned as a “honeypot,” and Decrypt reported confusion from unaffiliated lookalike tokens.
