Bitcoin Shatters 13-Year September Pattern; What Lies Ahead?
Bitcoin posted a 42.71% Q3 gain, breaking a 13-year September losing streak. BTC trades near $83,700 as the market eyes the $87,500 yearly open.
Pseudonymous analyst Wazz linked 53 Robinhood Chain token launches to one group that extracted at least $18.43 million.
Pseudonymous blockchain analyst Wazz has identified a single entity behind 53 token launches on Robinhood Chain that drained at least $18.43 million between July and September.
The September 27 report on X comes weeks after meme coin trading on the chain reached unprecedented levels, with launchpads processing over $1 billion in daily volume.
Wazz tracked the flow of funds for 45 of the 53 launches. Money from one token moved into a central hub wallet, which then provided the funding key for the subsequent launch.
In one case, DRAFTâs 98 wallets channeled 179.88 ETH into a hub. That hub paid an intermediary wallet, which transferred 20 ETH to DEEDâs funding key. The key signed DEEDâs funding batch just 16 seconds later.
âWhat ties them together is money: the proceeds of one launch pay the key that funds the next, usually seconds before that key signs the next funding batch,â the post read.
I just uncovered the biggest serial Rugpulling and Extraction operation on Robinhood
The same operation is linked 53 launches within a 2 month period
Total Extracted: $18.43 MILLION

An additional four launches shared a single private key, and another four used the same collector wallet. Bundles of 70 to 200 wallets purchased nearly every token.
CRUMBS led with $3.12 million extracted, followed by LEGS at $2.9 million and PINK at $1.3 million. Each token lost more than 99% of its value from its peak.
Approximately $18.11 million remains unspent in holding wallets on Robinhood Chain and Ethereum (ETH).
Of the 53 launches, 34 used Pons V2, the chainâs main launchpad. Pons imposes a 99% tax on purchases during the first second of a launch, which then drops to zero within moments.
Creators can pre-designate wallets as exempt from that tax in the launch transaction, allowing them to buy at zero tax while others in the same second pay 99%. Wazzâs data indicated that the designated wallets acquired up to 86% of the supply in that first second.
BeInCrypto has not independently verified the wallet linkages, which are based solely on Wazzâs analysis.
The operation expanded with the chain itself. Robinhood Chain launched on July 1 as a Layer 2 for tokenized stocks, but speculative activity quickly dominated, as BeInCrypto previously reported. Dune data shows daily decentralized exchange (DEX) volume hit a record $3.78 billion on September 4, compared to mostly under $1 billion in July and August.
Launchpad token volume reached $1.5 billion that day, with Pons alone accounting for $818.7 million. The Pons (PONS) token has recorded $2.74 billion in lifetime volume across 139,426 traders.
That growth enabled the ring. Wazz said the analysis uncovered at least two more serial operations that extracted millions but could not be directly linked to this one.
