Is $MRBEAST MrBeast's official coin? We found no sign it's his. The coin, MrBeastCoin, launched on pump.fun at 7:29:20 PM ET on 19 October. The description in its own token data reads "Official MrBeast Coin. Solve the giveaway puzzle for a chance to win the 1% prize." MrBeast's account, @MrBeast (about 35 million followers), hasn't posted about a coin: his latest post when we checked at 9:20 PM ET was at 8:02 PM ET on 18 October, about his videos.
The coin's other links are new. Its website, beastmeme[.]family (not linked here), was registered at about 6:24 PM ET on 19 October, going by its registry record, about an hour before launch, and returned no page when we checked at 9:10 PM ET. Its X account, @MrBeastCoinHQ, was unavailable on X when we checked at 9:10 PM ET. Its Telegram group calls itself the "Official entry portal for MrBeastCoin telegram community" and had 1,374 subscribers at 9:10 PM ET; we're not linking it.
The price fell all at once. $MRBEAST passed $1M at about 8:40 PM ET and was about $1.3M just before 9 PM ET, per GeckoTerminal. From 9:01:31 PM ET, 78 wallets sold about 83% of the supply between them within about two minutes, most selling about 1% each, and the market cap fell to about $3K. No liquidity was removed in the transactions we read; the price fell because of those sales.
If you hold $MRBEAST because you thought it was MrBeast's, it isn't, as far as anything public shows. A coin's name and description are written by whoever launches it, and anyone can type "official". Check the person's own verified account before buying a coin that uses their name.
