Onchain analyst Lookonchain reported that an address tagged by Arkham as Wintermute sold 466,255 LAPTOP for about $2.08 million after receiving tokens traced to the project team. For LAPTOP holders, the report identified project-allocated inventory moving out of a Wintermute-tagged wallet on the token’s launch day.
Lookonchain said the address received part of a 2.5 million-token allocation from the Laptop Token team and sold 466,255 tokens at an average price of $4.47. Arkham applies its Wintermute entity label to the address cited by Lookonchain, 0x4B3F…1f2a.
Separately, trader Jaider Hurtado documented LAPTOP’s opening market as thin. He said Aerodrome and Uniswap pools “opened nearly empty” and recorded a displayed price falling from $316.75 at 12:03 UTC to about $6 at 12:40 UTC, a decline of roughly 98%.
The underlying relationship between Wintermute and the project was not disclosed in the retained sources. Lookonchain’s tracing supports the reported team origin and aggregate sales figures, while Arkham supports only the wallet attribution. Neither source establishes whether the address was trading for Wintermute’s own account, operating under a market-making agreement or executing for another party.
