What is WAP coin, and why is it making headlines? 

In October 2024, rap superstar and Grammy Award winner Cardi B announced the launch of WAP coin, a cat-themed meme coin named after her hit song WAP. The crypto project quickly sparked controversy across social media and crypto forums.   

Some trusted sources cautioned users about a troubling connection between the wallet address promoted by Cardi B’s platform and several previous crypto scams, including rug-pulls and pump and dump schemes.  

Understanding the pump and dump scheme behind WAP coin

Pump and dump scams are common in both the stock and cryptocurrency markets. In this type of crypto scam, insiders artificially inflate the value of a coin using hype and manipulative tactics. Once the price has been pumped up, they quickly sell off (dump) their holdings for a profit, leaving regular investors stuck with worthless or devalued tokens.

With celebrity-endorsed meme coins, bad actors often use the celebrity’s platform to generate excitement and drive up the price. In the case of WAP coin, it is alleged that individuals launched the token and promoted it through Cardi B’s social media channels. Once the price surged, the insiders reportedly sold their tokens, cashing out at the expense of everyday investors.

At this time, it is not known whether Cardi B was aware of or involved in the alleged crypto scheme.
