Remember when Messi posted a picture of a cartoon water glass on Instagram at the beginning of the year? That was WATER — another meme token on Solana that skyrocketed 350% in just a few hours. It looked like a crazy move, but then everything became clear. One major exchange quickly added this coin to trading, and rumors immediately started that Messi was allegedly a partner of the platform since 2022. A typical story: celebrity, meme coin, quick money. But the crypto community has seen this before. There were Leafty and Planet — both ended up rug pulls when liquidity drained within days. Analysts immediately sounded the alarm, claiming this was the third scam involving Messi tokens. The price pulled back, and now WATER is trading well below its peak. Even Ronaldinho supposedly started promoting the project, but that only fueled more suspicion. Meme coins and stars — it’s a combo that only works in one direction: for those selling, not for regular investors.
