According to @PeckShieldAlert, former NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ newly launched memecoin $NYC had its liquidity abruptly removed roughly 30 minutes after launch following promotion on his personal social media (source: @PeckShieldAlert on X, Jan 13, 2026). PeckShieldAlert characterized the incident as a rug pull, indicating heightened immediate risk to $NYC traders and liquidity providers (source: @PeckShieldAlert on X, Jan 13, 2026).

According to @lookonchain, Eric Adams, the former New York City mayor, launched a memecoin $NYC and then removed liquidity at the price peak, withdrawing 3.18M USDC from the liquidity pool (source: https://twitter.com/lookonchain/status/2010991481230934203; source: https://solscan.io/account/9Ty4M4t9MZArhJBKFWbYrzeqdMf2Ua5eHWSRW3LXKyGt). The liquidity removal triggered panic selling among traders, with address Dr6s2o realizing a $473.5K loss (-63.5%) in under 20 minutes (source: https://twitter.com/lookonchain/status/2010991481230934203; source: https://solscan.io/account/Dr6s2ovWKfg32oFjLUdbw3Q33ZMhUEnMUMKMxyty2iFA). The transactions occurred on Solana, as evidenced by the activity recorded on Solscan for the cited addresses (source: https://solscan.io/account/9Ty4M4t9MZArhJBKFWbYrzeqdMf2Ua5eHWSRW3LXKyGt; source: https://solscan.io/account/Dr6s2ovWKfg32oFjLUdbw3Q33ZMhUEnMUMKMxyty2iFA). For traders, the immediate takeaway is elevated liquidity risk in new memecoins when LP funds can be withdrawn rapidly, as demonstrated by the 3.18M USDC removal and the swift drawdown reported (source: https://twitter.com/lookonchain/status/2010991481230934203; source: https://solscan.io/account/9Ty4M4t9MZArhJBKFWbYrzeqdMf2Ua5eHWSRW3LXKyGt).

According to Bubblemaps, the $LIBRA team removed USDC and SOL from decentralized exchange liquidity pools, extracting approximately $87 million based on their on-chain analysis, which they published on X.

According to @EmberCN, a hacker exploited a PORT3 bridge vulnerability about three hours prior, minting 1 billion PORT3 and triggering a 76 percent price drop through on-chain selling (source: @EmberCN on X, Nov 23, 2025). According to @EmberCN, the attacker sold 162.75 million PORT3 for 199.5 BNB, approximately 166,000 dollars, on BNB Chain (source: @EmberCN on X, Nov 23, 2025). According to @EmberCN, the PORT3 team then removed on-chain liquidity and some centralized exchanges paused PORT3 trading, constraining market liquidity and venue access for traders (source: @EmberCN on X, Nov 23, 2025).

According to @lookonchain, trader 7ZsN8P initially bought 20.67M $67 for $7,400, then sold for $3,040 to realize a $4,360 loss (-59%), source: Lookonchain. According to @lookonchain, he later used three wallets to purchase another 36.56M $67 for $14,250 and provided liquidity to earn trading fees, source: Lookonchain. According to @lookonchain, after $67 rallied, he removed all liquidity and now holds 37.43M $67 valued around $1.44M, source: Lookonchain.
