Hailey Welch is now a crypto influencer, did she leak her meme addresses by accident?

Hailey Welch, a.k.a Hawk Tuah Girl, Internet sensation and podcaster, accidentally exposed her meme token holdings. The discovery can affect the price of assets listed, while also placing Welch as the next big crypto influencer.

Meme tokens and influencers are one of the perfect matches to rally Internet communities. Hailey Welch, known as Hawk Tuah Girl, added meme tokens to the mix, after exposing portfolio selections on her screen. The two addresses became public soon after Welch presented its list of meme tokens, after spending about a month as a beginner crypto influencer.

Bubblemaps noticed the portfolio, and took stock of the holdings, their origins and the potential of selected meme tokens to rally.

Hailey Welch presents high-value portfolio

The portfolio exposure was only partially accidental – Welch willingly showed her meme token holdings. However, Bubblemaps took hold of her addresses and traced the origin of the tokens.

While Welch is a relatively new crypto influencer, some of the funding wallets have been around for months. According to Bubblemaps, Welch either received the tokens as an airdrop for exposure, or has been a hidden crypto investor before.

Welch’s wallet is overlapping with the meme token selection of Murad Mahmudov, with SPX6900 and GIGA as the top holdings. Among top tokens, the wallet also contains POPCAT, WIF, and MOTHER, as well as ELSA, PUPS, and MPLX. Welch has been braver with her Solana-based holdings, now valued at $193K. As usual, dust amounts of new tokens have been added to her portfolio as a way of gaining exposure.

One of the funding wallets that sent GIGA to Welch is a relatively older one, with links to multiple presales. The wallet is not identifies, and it is unknown if Welch herself is controlling it, or it’s just a fan or associate.

On the Ethereum chain, Welch holds KEKEC, MOG, SPX the Ethereum version, PEPE, and BITCOIN the token. The Ethereum holdings are much smaller and hold the tokens mostly for vanity, instead of a real investment. The address was first funded on October 7, with tokens originating from other high-balance holders. Welch is also a holder of a 1984 Worldwide NFT, which started to heat up recently.

Those tokens came from other personal wallets, which were funded from Coinbase and Binance. Bubblemaps estimated Welch did not buy the tokens, but received them from other holders, possibly as an airdrop or a gift.

Welch has also connected to Mahmudov’s X comments, and may continue to build her portfolio based on his meme recommendations. Bubblemaps also suggested Welch may be adding a project of her own, in addition to early meme tokens created based on her first famous video.

Welch controls 50% of the Hawktuah token supply

Perhaps the most notable feature of the Solana wallet linked to Welch is the new Hawktuah token, of which she owns 500M. The token was first minted on Pump.fun on November 6, and Welch already controls 50% of the total supply, valued at a relatively low $108K.

The token graduated to Raydium on November 8, and started its first hours of trading with $63K in liquidity. Welch cannot sell at the current valuation, but may continue to hold the token for branding purposes.

The Hawktuah token, which is the only one officially tied to the meme’s author, trades at only $0.0002 and is closely watched for potential rallies. For now, the token is extremely illiquid, with only a few thousand transactions in the first hours since the launch. The recent token doxing may also be part of the campaign for the native asset.

Meme tokens rallied again after the US election, as funds rolled over from PolitiFi and betting markets lost their major appeal. Based mostly on DOGE and a handful of blue-chip assets, meme tokens are on track to break a $70B market capitalization.

Older blue chip tokens are recovering, as well as the more recent selection of influencer tokens and the AI-inspired GOAT.

At the same time, the trenches on Pump.fun are as lively as ever, with near-record daily active wallets. The platform consistently carries more than 20K new tokens daily, with more than 35K on busier days.
