Recently, a rumor circulated in the crypto world claiming that a single Wallet holds up to 700 billion in assets, sparking widespread discussion. However, the authenticity of this claim has been seriously questioned.



Given the overall scale and technological level of the current crypto assets industry, the likelihood of such a large amount of assets being concentrated in a single Wallet is extremely low. Even financial giants like BlackRock, which have strong financial strength, are unlikely to invest such a huge amount of capital into the crypto world.

To better understand the extent of this exaggeration, we can refer to a known benchmark: Satoshi Nakamoto—the mysterious founder of Bitcoin—is believed to own around 1 million bitcoins. Even at the current market value, this wealth is only about 100 billion dollars, far less than the claimed 700 billion.

Industry experts speculate that this absurd number may stem from certain individuals issuing tokens on their own, artificially setting an exorbitant market value, and retaining a large portion of the shares. This practice is not uncommon in the crypto world and is often used to create false prosperity or to carry out fraud.

This event serves as a reminder for investors to stay vigilant and to treat the information circulating in the crypto assets market with caution, ensuring that proper due diligence is conducted. At the same time, it highlights the urgent need for stricter regulations and greater transparency in the crypto assets industry to curb the spread of false information and protect investors' interests.

Compared to Satoshi Nakamoto, it's a bit underestimated.
