The popular frog-themed meme token, $BRETT, has experienced a notable decrease in value recently. This decline has prompted early investors to start selling their tokens in order to make a profit, as reported by the renowned on-chain analytics provider SpotOnChain. The analytics company highlighted that the rise in the token’s price led to the early buyers cashing out.
According to SpotOnChain, a total of five “insider” wallets collaborated to deposit 71.76 million $BRETT tokens (equivalent to $9.94 million) into the crypto exchanges Gate.io, KuCoin, and Bybit over the past 32 hours, resulting in a drop in the token’s price after each transfer.

Moreover, SpotOnChain indicated that each token deposit contributed to substantial price decreases. The analytics platform disclosed that these wallets, part of a group of around fifteen wallets, traded 4.9 $ETH tokens valued at approximately $14.4K for 1.86 billion $BRETT tokens, accounting for 18.6% of the total supply.
These transactions took place within just forty-five minutes of $BRETT’s launch on February 25th. SpotOnChain claimed that one of the wallets still holds 941.4 million $BRETT tokens, worth almost $132 million.
Shortly before the price drop, $BRETT experienced a surge in value, surpassing its previous all-time high of $0.14. Additionally, the token reached a market capitalization of $70 billion, with reports suggesting that its listing on the popular exchange KuCoin fueled the price increase.
