Lionel Messi promotes memcoins

Argentine footballer Lionel Messi attracted the attention of the cryptocurrency community with an unexpected story on Instagram* (a social network banned in Russia), in which he advertised the memecoin WaterCoin (WATER), created on the basis of Solana.

Recently, celebrity accounts on social networks are increasingly being hacked. Thus, football legend Lionel Messi, whose audience on Instagram* has more than 504 million subscribers, has probably fallen under the radar of scammers. However, not everything is so simple.

On July 8, an unusual story appeared on Messi’s profile - an advertisement for the WATER memecoin. Due to recent celebrity hacks, many immediately assumed that a football player had been hacked. However, the next day he did not delete the publication and did not leave any comments about the fact that attackers had access to his profile.
