‍Bubblemaps Alleges Edel Finance 'Sniped' 30% of EDEL Token Supply at Launch Blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps claims a cluster of approximately 160 wallets acquired around 30% of the EDEL token supply ($11 million) shortly after its launch. These wallets were allegedly funded in a synchronized manner, with some receiving funding from Binance hours before the launch. Edel Finance co-founder James Sherborne denied the allegations, stating the team acquired ~60% of the supply and locked it into vesting contracts. Bubblemaps countered, questioning the defense and noting that tokenomics documents allocated only 12.7% to the team. The EDEL token has seen a 62% decline over the past week.
