MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) is perhaps the last Youtuber to welcome him. His channel has more than 325 million subscribers. A video that has been released for 4 months still received 156 million views within a week on the ”.
But he has recently been in the spotlight for various controversies, including accusations of film fraud, selling illegal lottery tickets and hiring employees with questionable backgrounds. Additionally, MrBeast has come under fire for its involvement in cryptocurrency, with YouTube users Rosana Pansino, DogPacks404, and others speaking out on the issue. However, their investigation only scratched the surface of MrBeast’s array of cryptocurrency activities.
A team of researchers has since conducted a more detailed analysis, uncovering intricate relationships among more than 50 cryptocurrency wallets linked to MrBeast. Their findings showed that MrBeast had a long history of insider trading, misleading investors, and using its influence to promote tokens before selling them. This article will take an in-depth look at the various tokens and insider trading related to these allegations, investigating MrBeast’s activities in its more than 50 secret wallets, exposing insider trading and suspicious transactions.
Track MrBeast wallet funds
First, to identify wallets related to MrBeast, on-chain researcher @angelfacepeanut mapped MrBeast’s wallet flow:
On-chain analyst @hxnterson added a few more wallets:
MrBeast’s main wallet address is 0x9e67D018488aD636B538e4158E9e7577F2ECac12, and multiple secondary wallets usually branch from this address. As mentioned in the post below, he has publicly revealed his wallet address on several occasions, such as when he announced his purchase of CryptoPunks.
In addition, in multiple projects related to MrBeast, such as SuperFarm, ERN, Refinable, etc., related allocations were also sent to this wallet 0x9e6.
In a podcast episode, MrBeast discussed his purchases of CryptoPunks and VeeFriends, which is consistent with his on-chain activity showing that he purchased VeeFriends in two wallets. One of the wallets is: 0x3640f50C46632E03F2677f85Ec0372a8Dd70b8f4.
Although MrBeast uses multiple exchanges, the ones he uses most often are Gemini and Binance. Transfers from his Binance account totaled more than $13 million.
The aforementioned wallet 0x364, which belongs to Binance, subsequently transferred 200 ETH (worth $630,240) to MrBeast’s main wallet 0x9e6. The wallet interacted with 0xb5bf6777e3524aD0ffCC5a37375cc49a4BE92F64, who transferred $190,000 to Gemini’s deposit address 0xD6210f2dc5323f4a1B4b766a0e732d6DfA26935B.
Although many of MrBeast’s wallets are connected to each other and have significant inflows of funds into each other, a key piece of evidence connecting them to MrBeast is the shared deposit address. Specifically, when you want to deposit funds to an exchange, the exchange establishes a deposit address, which is often reused. When we look at MrBeast’s wallets, most of them share the same deposit address 0xD62 . This means that when MrBeast wants to send funds to his Gemini exchange, he is using the address 0xD62 provided by Gemini, and here you can see several wallets related to MrBeast also sending funds to this exchange address.
Gemini Deposit 0xD62 wallet interaction:
In this trace, researchers centered on the Gemini deposit address 0xD62, with all MrBeast-related wallets surrounding it. You'll see how they interact with each other and how large amounts of money flow in and out of each other.
However, while the shared Gemini deposit address 0xD62 is a strong indicator, researchers also used other factors to link MrBeast to this wallet. These factors include large inflows from MrBeast confirmed wallets, large outflows to MrBeast confirmed wallets, and their degree of interaction with other MrBeast-related wallets.
A good example is the “BobbieDigital” wallet 0x2c07, which received massive inflows from MrBeast – sending millions of dollars worth of tokens to farm, and then transferring funds to Binance and Gemini deposit address 0xD62, the latter of which MrBeast Frequently used exchanges. At the same time, the wallet also sends funds to several other MrBeast-related wallets and conducts token transactions through MetaMask (a common feature of MrBeast wallets). Therefore, it is strongly suggested that this is his wallet. After investigation, approximately 25 wallets related to MrBeast have been identified.
SuperVerse (原 SuperFarm)
The first project was SuperFarm (now called SuperVerse). SuperVerse is a cryptocurrency that promises everything from building an NFT marketplace to integrating with games to create in-game economies, promising games like Pizza Heroes and Imposters, although development of both games is stalled indefinitely.
SuperVerse is heavily promoted by individuals such as Ellio Trades. Ellio is a YouTuber with a questionable history of promoting cryptocurrencies to his fans and then dumping them. Alex Becker also promoted SUPER and mentioned it in the film. Big influencers such as MrBeast, KSI, and LazarBeam also promoted the token to their followers, with on-chain activity showing MrBeast, KSI, and LazarBeam making over $10 million in profits.
SUPER conducted a public investment pre-sale ICO, selling for $0.02 per $SUPER token. However, upon launch, SUPER saw a 50-fold increase in price, with the price jumping to $1. Early public investors thought they had received 50 times the return, but in the end their investment was returned through legal loopholes. But investors like MrBeast and KSI reaped the rewards of their investment and dumped the tokens to their followers.
A screenshot from Ellio Trades’ live stream showing his communication with Twitter indicates that MrBeast is interested in investing $100,000, most likely for a pre-sale of $SUPER.
MrBeast used his brand and influence to promote Super, tweeting about Super from his Twitter/X account:
MrBeast replied "" to @SuperFarmDAO in a now-deleted post. @SuperFarmDAO has gone private and renamed to @SuperVerse, and MrBeast still follows them now.
KSI, who is associated with the MrBeast network, was also involved in the marketing and subsequent selling of $SUPER to his followers (see Zach XBT’s X post for details).
On-chain history
Summarize
MrBeast’s wallet received an initial batch of 1 million SUPER tokens in its main wallet 0x9e6. The wallet distributes supply to a secondary wallet 0x4f7, which is designated for farming in small increments between March and June 2021.
Over time, MrBeast continued to receive SUPER supply and distributed it to three wallets, the main one being his “BobbieDigital” wallet 0x2c0, which farmed between August and October 2021, and subsequently Supply moved to 0xED3 for farming over a similar time period, and finally to 0x949, where the wallet dumped $80,000 worth of tokens in August 2024.

Refinable

On-chain activities
MrBeast received Refinable (FINE) token allocations on two dates:

As part of the MrBeast network, KSI also invested in Refinable, buying it ahead of the big rally in August/September 2021.
insider trading
Through analysis of MrBeast’s wallet, it was found that he invested in cryptocurrency projects multiple times during the pre-sale period, thereby earning huge returns. Unlike active trading, MrBeast has only made a few investments, all of which have been wildly successful.
Researchers compiled a list of MrBeast investments that saw huge returns. They believe this is the result of insider trading, as MrBeast, as a full-time content creator, focuses much of his energy on his social media brand and his various business and partnerships. Cryptocurrency investing requires time and concentration, and it requires sifting through hundreds of potential investment opportunities to find the right one. MrBeast, who owns multiple businesses and creates content full-time, has maintained a record of making huge returns. Therefore, his success in cryptocurrency investment is most likely not the result of keen trading intuition, but just insider information, especially with others. News about upcoming brand deals and partnerships within the network, including figures like KSI, GaryVee, and LazarBeam.
The investigation shows that there are striking similarities in the cryptocurrency activities of MrBeast, KSI, LazarBeam, and Alex Becker, most of whom have collaborated with MrBeast on YouTube. On-chain analysis shows that they are also involved in many of the same projects. This suggests they may have had inside information about promotions and opportunities before the public knew about them, allowing MrBeast to reap significant gains from just a few strategic investments.
In addition to the projects mentioned above, the investigation also found that projects related to MrBeast include CryptoPunks, VeeFriends, SHOPX, XCAD, Jigstak (STAK), Polychain Monsters (PMON), Boson Protocol (BOSON), Standard Protocol (STND), Ally Direct (DRCT), Ternoa (CAPS), METIS L2 (METIS), PlayMetaGods, MetaWars and more.
MrBeast’s income from these projects is also very considerable, most of which are around US$600,000, and the minimum STND is US$130,000. For more detailed analysis and research, please refer to the original report.
