What started as a celebration for $RVV ’s Binance Alpha listing quickly spiraled into chaos .... and on-chain sleuths wasted no time piecing together what really happened behind the curtain. The Setup: Last night at 21:00, RVV officially launched on Binance Alpha, with contracts going live 30 minutes later. Everything seemed smooth… until it wasn’t. The Twist: Just one hour later, the project’s multi-signature wallet quietly transferred 800 million #RVV to eight new multi-sig addresses. Twelve hours after that, those wallets started scattering tokens across dozens of fresh addresses : triggering a wave of sell-offs that tanked the price. The Fallout: The team claimed a “third-party managed account was hacked,” but on-chain data tells a harsher truth: over $9.09 million was dumped.
The two main profiteers : 0x643F901793A5f6Fb4DE51658CD152AdA3b88178C and 0x9E621209F5fdF09f2Ae32B38F48B9aa402CA0b3e .......walked away with $6.18 million, using 1inch and Zerion to offload the tokens. What was meant to be a victory lap for RVV’s launch turned into another grim reminder of how fragile trust can be in Web3 ..... one multisig, one “hack,” and millions gone in hours.
