ChainCatcher reported on November 11, 2026, that an on-chain investigation dated November 10 claims addresses associated with Elysium’s issuance platform Ascend moved about $140,000 through two privacy pools into three new wallets and bought MONTRA within minutes of the token’s launch.
MONTRA is the platform token of Elysium’s Montra issuance platform. It launched at 00:36 UTC on November 10, 2026. The investigation says the tokens were consolidated into one FOMO wallet holding 32,014,541 MONTRA, about 3.2 percent of supply. That wallet itself has no recorded buys.
Ascend’s co-founder is identified as CryptoTomYT.
The investigation describes two paths. On November 10, Path A deposited 40,000 USDC into Privacy Cash on Solana. Forty-seven seconds later an equal amount was transferred out, swapped for 530.57 HYPE, used to buy 6,846,772 MONTRA, and then sent onward. On November 9, Path B deposited 100,328.25 USDC into a Base privacy pool and withdrew an equal amount within the same hour. Two new wallets from this path bought roughly 25.6 million tokens within about five minutes of launch. The highest launch fee cited is 23.2 percent.
Further claims in the same account: the Path A deposit wallet had received 27.7 SOL from ethanhates.sol and later transferred about $66,200 to an address CryptoTomYT has claimed as his own. Path B’s first funds came from a FOMO account that Arkham labels analyzationz. Other transfers in the same hour funded 10 additional new wallets. Together with the buyers above, these wallets are said to hold 25.8 percent of LAUNCHPAD supply.
These points restate what the investigation asserts, as relayed by ChainCatcher. They are not independently verified here. The source presents wallet flows, privacy-pool use, and rapid post-launch buys as observed activity and draws an association with Ascend-related addresses. It does not establish intent, control, or misconduct.
