On-chain investigator Zachxbt raises serious concerns about Memecore’s valuation, insider token concentration, and market transparency. Here’s what investors need to know.
Zachxbt Looks Closely at Memecore: Token Prices, Insider Control, and What’s Really Happening
Memecore is a layer-1 blockchain that is getting a lot of attention because it is based on the “meme 2.0 economy.” This means that it combines culture, humour, and community-driven value into one token. The price of its native token, M, recently shot up a lot, which naturally got a lot of attention. But when something pumps that much, especially in today’s world, people want to know what’s going on.
Meet Zachxbt. You know his name if you keep up with on-chain investigations. He has a reputation for digging into crypto projects and bringing to light things that teams would rather keep hidden. His most recent target? Memecore. And what he’s saying is making people in the space raise their eyebrows.
Right now is a very sensitive time for crypto. People still remember the Rave DAO collapse, and trust isn’t exactly high right now. So when a project like Memecore says it is worth a lot of money, investors no longer believe it right away. The hype-to-utility ratio is being closely watched, and doing your homework is no longer an option; it’s a matter of life and death.
Valuation Concerns and Market Cap Discrepancies
Zachxbt’s challenge to Memecore isn’t just a tweet that makes fun of them. It’s a three-part call for openness that gets to the heart of how we value tokens.
First, he says that the $6 billion price tag is a lie. That’s a lot of money. Memecore would be in the top 20 by market cap. But where’s the evidence? Zachxbt wants to see the receipts in a world where vanity metrics and false self-reporting are common. That price is just a headline without proof.
Let’s talk about numbers now. There is a difference between Memecore’s market cap on CoinMarketCap ranked and CoinGecko ranked. That’s not strange; there are different methods, liquidity filters, and ways of handling supply. But it’s a problem when the gap is big. These aggregators help investors make choices. It’s a bad sign if they can’t agree on something as simple as market cap.

Insider Control and Wallet Concentration Risks
Second, he’s focusing on insider control. What is the claim? More than 90% of the circulating supply is held by insiders. Take a moment to think about that. If only a few people own that much of the float, price discovery isn’t a market function; it’s a decision made by the board. That kind of concentration doesn’t just raise red flags; it almost begs for manipulation.
People in the community have noticed. More and more people who might invest are backing out of projects that won’t or can’t show their cards. Memecore is now in the spotlight, and how it reacts to Zachxbt’s criticism will tell us a lot about the project and whether that $6 billion number was ever real.
Next, there are the wallet concentration numbers. Bubblemaps and other tools make it easy to find the outliers. And in Memecore’s case, a few wallets stand out because they hold a lot more of the supply than they should. That means something. You are not in a decentralised ecosystem if one person can change the price just by moving tokens. You’re in a market that is controlled.
What will happen if one of those wallets wants to cash out? A chain reaction. The price drops, liquidity dries up, and retail gets hurt. On the other hand, that concentration can also keep people from really participating in the community. In either case, it’s a structural risk that any serious investor should think about.

Broader Implications for Crypto Trust and Transparency
But this isn’t just about Memecore. Zachxbt’s main point, whether he meant to or not, is that we’ve seen this movie before. Rave DAO was a wake-up call. Bad management, unclear insider control, and a collapse that hurt a lot of people. It’s hard to miss the similarities.
In a way, Zachxbt is showing how to put the pieces together. Erratic trading patterns, concentrated wallets, and vague claims about value are all signs that something is wrong. They are signs of a bigger problem. And by calling them out, he’s helping the market become immune in a way.
In the future, his work might have an effect on more than just Memecore. It’s part of the bigger push for responsibility. People are already asking for more strict government oversight, not the kind that stops new ideas from coming up, but the kind that makes projects be honest about their supply, ownership, and value. That’s a good thing.
In the end, trust isn’t based on hype. It is based on openness. If an independent on-chain investigator can’t smell Memecore or any other project, then maybe that billion-dollar price tag isn’t a big deal. It could be a mirage.
