The VISTA token was launched by Ethervista, a token launch platform that seeks to combat rug pull scams by locking up creators’ liquidity for a period of five days. Rug pulls are scams in which bad actors drain liquidity from decentralized finance platforms shortly after a token is launched, leaving other investors with tokens that they cannot sell due to lack of liquidity.

Typically, this happens when insiders hold a large portion of the total supply — a common practice among projects looking to fund their operations through a launch — and then immediately sell their tokens to investors.

As previously reported, a crypto trader made around $300,000 in just one month by shorting MakerDAO’s MKR token, after borrowing 500 MKR from popular decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Aave on July 19, then selling the token for $1.37 million.

According to on-chain analytics service Lookonchain, the trader then spent over $1.07 million on popular stablecoin USDC to buy back the MKR they needed to repay their debt at a lower price, essentially closing their short position on the cryptocurrency.
