$NYC Token Tied to Eric Adams Soars to $600M, Then Crashes 70% After $2.5M USDC LP Removal — On-Chain Red Flags for Traders

According to @bubblemaps, $NYC surged to roughly $600 million market cap before the team pulled $2.5 million USDC from liquidity pools, triggering a 70 percent price crash. Source: @bubblemaps on X, Jan 13, 2026. According to @bubblemaps, the team also extracted over $1 million by cycling USDC in and out of the $NYC liquidity pools, indicating suspicious LP activity that can severely impair execution and slippage for DEX traders. Source: @bubblemaps on X, Jan 13, 2026. According to @bubblemaps, traders should note that rapid market cap expansion followed by LP withdrawals and a steep drawdown signals acute liquidity and counterparty risk, with heightened volatility risk until LP depth is restored. Source: @bubblemaps on X, Jan 13, 2026. According to @bubblemaps, risk controls for $NYC should prioritize monitoring on-chain LP balances, token ownership privileges, and further USDC movements, and consider smaller position sizing and strict slippage limits on DEX orders.

Eric Adams $NYC Memecoin on Solana: Liquidity Pulled at Peak, 3.18M USDC Withdrawn; Trader Loses $473.5K in 20 Minutes

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).

On-Chain Alert: Bubblemaps Flags $87M Liquidity Removal From $LIBRA Pools (USDC, SOL) — Trading Risks for DeFi Traders

Vitalik Buterin: Crypto Needs Better Decentralized Stablecoins — 5 Trading Takeaways for ETH, DAI, FRAX, LUSD

According to the source, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says crypto needs better decentralized stablecoins, consistent with his prior guidance that resilient designs should withstand extreme market conditions and avoid heavy reliance on centralized collateral, source: Vitalik Buterin blog at vitalik.ca, Two thought experiments to evaluate automated stablecoins.

For DAI, track Peg Stability Module usage and Real-World Asset collateral that increase or reduce USDC dependence, which can affect decentralization risk and MKR policy decisions, source: MakerDAO documentation; MakerDAO governance forum. For FRAX, watch the collateralization ratio, Algorithmic Market Operations and sFRAX yield settings that influence FRAX supply growth and veFXS incentives, source: Frax Finance documentation; Frax governance. For LUSD, focus on ETH-only collateral health, Stability Pool utilization, and redemption dynamics that support the USD peg without centralized assets, source: Liquity protocol documentation.
