Uniswap founder burned almost 100% of HayCoin coins

The founder of the Uniswap project, Hayden Adams, has withdrawn almost the entire supply of the HayCoin test coin from circulation.

On his X (formerly Twitter) he wrote:

“I’m not comfortable owning almost the entire supply (~99.99%) of the asset that people are discussing and speculating on, so I decided to burn all the coins in my wallet (valued at an absurd $650 billion).”

Adams also explained that he created HayCoin purely for testing purposes five years ago, before the launch of Uniswap V1. Later, he sent a small portion of the total supply to a small test liquidity pool, and left the rest in his wallet.

“In the past week, people have been buying and selling the asset, treating it like a memcoin. Cryptocurrencies can be strange sometimes,” added the Uniswap founder.

Adams added that in the future he would have nothing to do with the coin, since he had burned all his reserves. He called speculation on HayCoin unfounded.

At the time of writing, HAY is trading at around $2,913,733; on October 21, the asset price was around $660.
