In early September 2025, on-chain investigator ZachXBT published a leaked rate sheet listing more than 200 crypto influencer accounts offered paid promotional deals, with Solana wallet addresses attached to each entry and per-post pricing ranging from $50 to $60,000. Of roughly 160 accounts that accepted payment, fewer than five disclosed their posts as advertising, representing a compliance rate below 3% against FTC and ASA disclosure standards. The incident exposed a systemic pattern of undisclosed paid promotion across crypto social media and has been cited in connection with influencer-driven promotional chains that preceded token collapses.
