Blacklisted Wallet Holding $12M in PEPE Exposes Smart Contract Risks

  • —The wallet received 2.519 trillion PEPE in April 2023 and was blacklisted eight minutes later
  • —The position is worth roughly $12 million on paper but cannot be transferred
  • —PEPE's contract ownership was renounced, yet the existing blacklist restriction remains
  • —Canary Capital told the SEC that PEPE's contract is immutable and cannot block transfers
Why it matters: The case shows that tokens visible in a wallet may be unsellable due to hidden contract rules, a key risk for holders assessing decentralization.
