# Other Protocols and Insider Trading Allegations ## Other Protocols Similar to SuperVerse and Ethernity Chain, MrBeast extended his investments to projects like [**AIOZ**](https://aioz.network/) and [**Refinable**](https://x.com/refinableapp?lang=en), leveraging his massive social media presence and questionable practices. These ventures reportedly generated around **$1.2M** in profits.

## Insider Trading Allegations Beyond presale investments and pump-and-dump schemes, MrBeast has been implicated in alleged insider trading activities, with connections to notable figures like [**KSI**](https://x.com/KSI), [**GaryVee**](https://x.com/garyvee), and[ **LazarBeam**](https://x.com/Lazarbeam). Projects including [**SHOPX**](https://x.com/shopxlabs?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor), [**XCAD**](https://x.com/XcademyOfficial), [**JIGSTACK**](https://x.com/jigstack), [**Polychain Monsters**](https://x.com/protocolmon), [**Boson Protocol**](https://x.com/BosonProtocol), and [**Standard Protocol** ](https://x.com/standardweb3)reveal a recurring pattern of substantial profits—unlikely for a content creator without insider information. ## SHOPX [SHOPX](https://x.com/shopxlabs?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) is a RWA-based project that tokenizes products to reward their customers. In the past, it has been seen that this project has been pushed by a lot of people like [TheCryptoLark](https://x.com/TheCryptoLark), [CryptoBanter](https://x.com/crypto_banter), etc. [ZackXBT](https://x.com/zachxbt) already analyzed this back in 2022 and somehow warned the people about these influencers using their presence for immoral things, which later turned out to be right.

But how do these things prove the connection of MrBeast with SHOPX? See below!

On-chain activity reveals that MrBeast was also allocated $SHOPX in the pre-sale along with other influencers like Lark and KSI. [It has been analyzed by SomaXBT too which he tweeted on his X.](https://x.com/somaxbt/status/1844718089478324309) The below tracer shows MrBeast wallet *0x9e67...* received 607K $SHOPX on **March 31st, 2021.**

On receiving the token allocation, on **April 9th, 2021**, he sent his supply to the side wallet *0x7c1b16F59B1aB069D33CA93aB6CaF2D218A1b6D6.* Tx Hash: *0x35bbb4e3b71fe9248d5636f6c167d34aa57a5db9a123b7f6108d85ec791cc189*

Gradually, the side wallet sold all the supply within a short period and sent the rest of the remaining supply back to the MrBeast wallet.

MrBeast sold the rest of the supply too by the end of 2021 and he made a total **profit of more than $480k.** ## Polychain Monsters (PMON) [Polychain Monsters ( Now Protocol Monsters)](https://x.com/protocolmon) was a project used to create digital collectible monsters on the blockchain. [ZackXBT did a thorough analysis and wrote an article on this, mentioning the shady people involved in this and how it was meant to benefit the few.](https://x.com/zachxbt/status/1410356539668447233) Also like the earlier project, there was a lot of promotion involved in pumping this project too, and this time it was KSI. Allegations have been made that MrBeast's investment in $PMON was out of KSI's promotional deal and insider information.

Onchain activity clearly shows that MrBeast wallet received 25K and 68.75K $PMON, which he transferred to his side wallet *0x4f7B657a2cAe7A8808Df1D889838d5Da33007ae8.*

MrBeast swapped $PMON and received $ETH using Uniswap

sent to 0x4f7b, which sent 3,813 $ETH to his main wallet 0x9e67d. In most of the protocols analyzed, MrBeast frequently relied on Uniswap to swap various tokens. The tracer above shows that the funds were swapped using Uniswap V2 and were sent to 0x4f7b... which sent 3,813 $ETH to his main wallet 0x9e67d...

The address 0x4f7b... has conducted 972 transactions and has received tokens in over 1,000 transactions.

The side wallet 0x4f7b... sold the $PMON in several hundred transactions, finally **profiting around $1.7M.**

## **Recurring Trends: Pump-and-Dump Allegations** All the aforementioned projects mentioned are tied to MrBeast, such as **Standard Protocol ($STND)** **SHOPX**, **XCAD**, **JIGSTACK**, **Polychain Monsters, and** **Boson Protocol,** exhibit similar trajectories: * **$STND:** Down **99.5%** from its peak. * **$SHOPX:** Down **99.85%** from its peak. * **$PMON:** Down more than **99%** from its peak These patterns suggest a deliberate strategy to inflate token prices through influencer-driven hype, followed by large-scale liquidation, leaving retail investors at a loss. While MrBeast’s ventures into blockchain projects like SHOPX and Polychain Monsters may have yielded millions in profits, the stark decline in token valuations and recurring patterns of token liquidation raise questions about ethical practices among people with high influence. Allegations of insider trading, paired with the exploitation of social influence, create a compelling case for deeper scrutiny of these activities. ``` ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
