NEW: Major investigation dropping February 26 on one of crypto’s most profitable businesses where multiple employees abused internal data to insider trade over a prolonged period of time.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about ZachXBT's tweet. I don't believe that making announcements is his thing, so I would imagine that this is as big as he's making it to be.

Which company do you think it is? If I had to give one guess, I would say it's pump.fun mainly because of all of the rug pulling that has been happening.

pump.fun doesn’t fit here, how could there be insider trading there? If anything, it would be something like Polymarket

There have been an insider trading lawsuit against the Solana foundation and Pump fun a few months ago (based on private conversations with the teams if I'm not mistaken). I'm not sure how serious it was, or what happened since then though.

Polymarket or Kalshi could definitely be it too, but then what would the employees have as information that could help them place bets?

For example, Michael Saylor could bet on whether he's buying more than 500M BTC this month... Or someone on the White house betting on who's Trump choosing as Fed Chair or SEC chair... but the Polymarket employees, where do they fit on all of this especially when this was happening "over prolonged period of time"? Assuming there is nothing they can do from the backend to cheat the system and everything is verifiable through smart contracts.
As for bets about Polymarket itself, I can't imagine that as something being legal?

Maybe someone who worked at Polymarket had some inside information and Polymarket created bets on certain events when they knew what the outcome would be

There is a Polymarket going on about this.

Which crypto company will ZachXBT expose for insider trading?
https://polymarket.com/event/which-crypto-company-will-zachxbt-expose-for-insider-trading

Numbers are all over the place, but Meteora is "winning" at the moment with a 39% chance. PUMP.fun is in second with 17% chance.

I wonder why OmegaStarScream gave you that merits, because you posted as if you know about pump.fun but you have no knowledge about it at all if you said insider trading can not happen on pump.fun.

Insider trading is happening on Polymarket but the one I am suspecting is Kalshi because I have been hearing news about Kalshi recently

Definetely not Binance - zachXBT works with them. One of the most profitable businesses is Hyperliquid and during yesterday dip it was the biggest dip for $HYPE -10% while the rest was -3-4%, but still unclear, might be market maker, so I think it is possibly Meteora as they are liquidity provider and their pools are highly sensitive to timming.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about ZachXBT's tweet.
It sounds to me like an insider of an investigation about abusing insider knowledge is now leaking insider knowledge by announcing the investigation 3 days early.
What's the point of this?

Polymarket isn't listed. Is there some kind of censorship there to protect their reputation temporarily (let's say the company in question is Polymarket)?
I haven't fully studied the betting concept there; as far as I know, prediction topics can only be published with permission from the internal team. cmiiw

I'm curious what ZachXBT will release next, it's been the subject of hot speculation on X especially some influencers who point to the Solana platform such as Meteora, Pump.fun, Axiom, Jupiter.

Maybe after this is released it will shake the market into a crash?

Second place is now the MEXC market, strong suspicion that MEXC will be mentioned later in the release, I only found out about the complaints of this exchange after many people had their assets frozen... but I don't know how there will be a connection as mentioned in the data abuse/trafficking of people.

Imagine Millions of dollars have been bet on Polymarket waiting for ZachXBT on the 26th.

What's the point of this?

There's probably none except having a little fun or entertainment. But, seriously, I wonder why ZachXBT resorted into something like this. So, yeah, what's the point? Why the guessing game? Engagement? Does he/she badly want to become more popular, influential? Or is he/she doing this so that Polymarket would open a market for it and he/she'd place a bet and make easy money? Or are they together in this?

Anyway, I've read a number of guesses that don't seem to fall under "crypto’s most profitable businesses", or is it the top 100?

I can’t help but wonder if this was coordinated between ZachXBT and the Polymarket team. There are hundreds of profitable crypto businesses. How did they narrow it down to those specific company names? If he can expose anyone, why only 15? It just doesn’t add up to me.
