World Cup PvP Token (ticker: WCUP) is an ERC-20 token that launched on June 10, 2026, capitalizing on hype surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup. On-chain analytics firm Bubblemaps alleged that a coordinated group of over 30 wallets pre-purchased approximately 95% of the token's circulating supply within minutes of launch, driving the market cap to $50 million on the first day against only $536,000 in actual liquidity. Multiple crypto influencers on X promoted the token without disclosing alleged compensation, a pattern consistent with a coordinated pump-and-dump scheme.
