The trading volume saw a 29.1% decrease in a day, signaling a recent fall in market activity.
The coin was faced with controversy at its launch, with accusations of insider trading.
According to Bubblemaps, insiders bought a whopping 20% of the MOTHER supply before its launch on Wednesday. Hence, they reportedly dumped $2 million worth of the token.

Azalea replied to subsequent Bubblemaps’ tweets, stating: “Meanwhile, because this is my concept/coin – I’m somehow supposed to bare responsibility for what random ppl do with their wallets. When in reality them dumping only makes it harder for me to achieve my goal of is having a coin that is actually part of pop culture.”
