Pepe Creator Matt Furie's Account Promotes 3 Meme Coins in a Week, Then Claims Hack

After nine months of silence, Matt Furie's X account became active again in early August, posting content and contract addresses for HOODRAT, DORK, and BOYZ within a week. Most posts were later deleted. On August 9, the account claimed it was hacked and did not endorse any altcoins. However, on-chain analyst @StandartXBT found via web archives that the official website had no such notice, casting doubt on the claim.

Matt Furie’s X Account Linked to Three Meme Coin Contracts in a Week Before Denying Endorsements

Matt Furie, the artist behind Pepe, returned to X in early August after nine months of silence and was then linked to three separate meme coin contract addresses within a week: HOODRAT, DORK, and BOYZ. Posts tied to each token were later deleted. On Aug. 9, the account said it had been hacked, rejected any endorsement of “shitcoins,” and pointed users to a note on Furie’s website. BlockBeats reported that the activity began on Aug. 1, when the account changed its profile picture to a hoodrat image and posted HOODRAT-related content together with a contract address. The token’s market cap quickly surged before the post was removed and the price fell sharply. On Aug. 3, the account posted DORK’s official contract address shortly after deployment, followed the project account, and shared crossover art featuring Pepe and Dork Lord. Around Aug. 7, the account said it supported BOYZ, described it as the only token it would endorse, and added a website link and contract address. On-chain analyst @StandartXBT said the deployer behind DORK rapidly bundled purchases, removed liquidity, and sold, extracting notable ETH profits from the seed funds. The same analyst also said web archive checks did not show the website disclaimer before Aug. 9, casting doubt on the hacking claim.

PEPE Exchange Net Outflow Hits 4.54 Trillion, Largest Since November 2024

On-chain analytics firm Santiment has flagged a sharp move in PEPE balances. The token posted a single-day net outflow of 4.54 trillion tokens from exchanges, the largest daily outflow recorded since November 14, 2024, according to Santiment's monitoring data. Large volumes of PEPE are being transferred from trading platforms into private wallets. That reduces the amount of supply available for immediate selling. Nansen's wallet data points in the same direction. Over the past 30 days, the top 100 PEPE holder addresses increased their combined positions by 6.07%, lifting their total holdings to roughly 85.97 trillion tokens. Smart Money addresses went further, with their PEPE holdings up 307% over the same period. The combination of exchange outflows and rising accumulation by major holders means a growing share of the token supply is now concentrating in long-term-oriented wallets rather than sitting on exchanges. Together, the two datasets show exchange balances are declining while major accumulation addresses keep adding.
