Recently, a hacker group called “Capital Killer” has been attacking major investment institutions in the cryptocurrency industry, including a16z, Animoca Capital, and Grayscale. They claim to be promoting the AVAV token on the Avalanche blockchain by attacking these institutions, under the slogan of “opposing capital and pursuing fairness”.

On February 28th, as announced by Capital Killer, they began attacking the official website of a top crypto venture capital firm, a16z, claiming it to be the first gift to the AVAV community.

Yesterday, Capital Killer announced on X that they have also attacked Animoca Capital and Grayscale, and have added 500 ETH liquidity to AVAV. They further promised to continue adding 1000 ETH liquidity in the future.
In response to Capital Killer’s actions, some members of the AVAV community praised their ideology of opposing capital and seeking fairness, while others suspected if this event was actually a marketing campaign initiated by AVAV itself.
Regarding this, the AVAV Chinese community clarified twice on their X account that this is an individual act by a hacker group and has nothing to do with AVAV.
After the Bitcoin token frenzy in the second half of 2023, various public blockchains have witnessed a boom in tokenization. AVAV is one of the most popular tokens on Avalanche, an established public blockchain. It has a total supply of 21 million tokens, with each token consisting of 69,696,969 coins.
However, according to CoinMarketCap data, the price of AVAV seems to have not been significantly affected by these events. At the time of writing, it is temporarily reported at $0.000000009323, a decrease of 4.96% in the last 24 hours.
