Blockchain investigator SomaXBT claims MrBeast, alongside other influencers like Lark Davis and CryptoBanter, invested $100,000 in low-cap crypto projects such as SuperFarmDAO, before inflating the value and dumping tokens for profit.
5/ later that Mr. Beast showed his support following the superFarmDAO on X (currently @SuperFarmDAO private, and moved their project to the new handle @SuperVerse)

SomaXBT’s investigation alleges MrBeast earned millions through such schemes, specifically by converting the SUPER tokens into Ether and moving it through multiple wallets.
6/ All sudden,
- on 2021-03-30, Mr beast transferred those 1 million $SUPER tokens to the new wallet '0x4f7b6.' with 0.2 ETH (for gas fees)
- in next 24 hours, '0x4f7b6' wallet dumped all 1 million $SUPER tokens in 751 trades and made 1900 ETH

The allegations also extend to other projects such as Polychain Monsters and SHOPX, though it remains unclear if MrBeast intentionally misled his followers or merely made short-term investments.
9/ $SHOPX by SPLYT (Now @shopxlabs)
SPLYT is another project where MrBeast invested $25k USDT. He made $765k by selling his SPLYT token allocation and is still holding 177k SHOPX tokens. In this project, he shared the spotlight with KSI and Lark Davis.— SomaXBT (@somaxbt)

While MrBeast’s involvement in these schemes has stirred controversy, no legal action has been taken.
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. experienced a massive inflow of $556 million on October 14, marking the largest single-day gain since June.
Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, called it a "monster day" for spot Bitcoin ETFs, highlighting the rising interest from institutional investors and advisors.
Monster day for spot btc ETFs…
$550mil inflows.
Now approaching *$20bil* net inflows in 10mos.
Simply ridiculous & blows away every pre-launch demand estimate.
This is NOT “degen retail” $$$ IMO.
It’s advisors & institutional investors continuing to slowly adopt.

This surge has pushed the total inflows for Bitcoin ETFs to nearly $20 billion over the past 10 months, far surpassing early expectations.
Interesting, since the launch of the bitcoin ETFs bitcoin has hit records highs 5 times but gold has hit record highs 30 times.. albeit has only taken in $1.4b in net flows vs $19b for btc ETFs.. via @psarofagis

📈Technical Analysis Masterclass:
Breakthrough & Surge: SUI recently broke through the $1 resistance level, skyrocketing by 120%. However, rapid gains like this often lead to a pullback as traders take profits.
Market Psychology: After sharp rises, traders may sell to secure profits, causing a temporary dip. A potential new support level could be found between $1.90 and $1.98, based on Fibonacci retracement levels.
Moving Averages: SUI’s moving averages align with this support zone, reinforcing the idea that this could be a good buy-in level if it bounces back.
Potential Risks:
Overbought Signals: SUI is showing signs of being overbought, which often leads to a price correction. Some analysts point to a bearish divergence pattern, where the price rises but momentum slows.
Historical Patterns: SUI has shown similar behavior in the past—reaching overbought levels but still pushing higher afterward. While a short-term pullback is possible, long-term potential remains strong.
Strategy Moving Forward:
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA): Instead of investing all at once, consider buying small amounts over time. This approach can help manage volatility and smooth out the purchase price.
Market Conditions: We’re currently in a “Bitcoin season,” where Bitcoin dominates market attention. However, SUI’s growth even in this phase suggests it could surge even more during altcoin season.
