Crypto Influencer known as Cobie (Jordan Fish) just burned 60% of the Solana meme coin “UPONLY” which was worth $17 million after it was gifted to him. He burned it by distancing himself completely from the token linked to his old podcasts. The burn dropped UPHOLY’s market cap from $45 million to mere $4.3 million. After this, Cobie, who co-hosted UpOnly with Ledger until FTX’s collapse, is now working on a new crypto project called Echo.
Crypto Influencer Cobie (Jordan Fish) sadly just torched 60% of Solana’s meme coin “UPONLY. The coin was issued via Pump.fun on Friday November 8 after the tokens were received as a gift. UpOnly is the name of podcast he runs, which became a meme on Cobie’s former crypto show and an unknown developer even sent 600 million coins to the trader. However, Fish has stated multiple times that he has no ties with this meme token.
Firstly Fish posted a screenshot of swapping UPONLY coins for a dog-themed token called Dogwifhat, then he again shared a pic of him burning the tokens and jokingly saying “This was worth $17 million when I burned it lol.” Maybe he was too naive to realize but in crypto, burning means the tokens are permanently destroyed and taken out of the circulation, which means it was a total waste worth of millions.
Solscan confirmed Cobie burned 600 million UPONLY tokens which dropped the supply to 400 million. The coin’s market cap shot up to $45M before crashing to $4.3M after the burn. After the incident, Cobie’s old podcast which was backed by FTX, decided to part ways. And after the exchange collapsed, he and co-host Ledger moved on to other crypto projects.
As of now Fish is working on a new collaborative crypto angel, Echo, but their activities have largely remained unknown.
