The insider still holds 20.68 million $STAR10 tokens, currently valued at $4.93 million. The address associated with these transactions is 0x4c25af8cb1c34441fc17550df8e16ec953cf12e0.
While the significant profit by an insider raises concerns, Ronaldinho has taken to social media to address the liquidity of the $STAR10 token. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he assured users that the liquidity is locked for 30 days, with the possibility of an extension, stating, “Here, we play it safe.”
However, $STAR10 has faced criticism from the crypto community for lacking clear tokenomics or a roadmap. The project’s lack of transparency has reignited skepticism, particularly following the recent $LIBRA rug pull incident. Note that over 86% of investors i.e., more than 10,000 crypto accounts, lost $251 million after $LIBRA, endorsed by Argentine President Javier Milei, collapsed.
