TechFlow, Dec 19 — According to Bubblemaps, the AI agent token AVA appears to have suffered insider trading at launch, with 40% of its tokens sniped by 23 wallets linked to the deployer. The token was launched in November 2024 and backed by Holoworld AI.
The investigation found that prior to AVA's launch, 23 wallets—including those tied to the deployer—received fresh funds from Bitget and Binance. These wallets share similar characteristics: funding received within a tight time window, comparable amounts of SOL tokens acquired, no prior activity history, and immediate sniping of AVA tokens upon launch. Additionally, other wallets associated with these sniping addresses also purchased AVA early, with similar funding sources, sizes, and timing strongly suggesting coordinated behavior among these wallet clusters.
