"I take this situation extremely seriously": Hawk Tuah girl mentions in statement addressing cryptocurrency crash

In December 2024, Haliey Welch, better known as the Hawk Tuah girl, launched a cryptocurrency meme coin called $HAWK. Followers of the internet personality reportedly began investing in the same, owing to Welch's social media endorsements. However, the meme coin's value dropped drastically, from $490 million to $60 million in just 20 minutes.

The Hawk Tuah girl's crypto memecoin was dubbed a "scam" by YouTube investigator CoffeeZilla, who called out the internet personality during a conversation on X Spaces. Calling it one of the most "miserable, horrible" launches he had ever seen, the YouTube investigator said:

“I’ve been tracing it on chain for a while. You guys generated over $1M in fees while y’all fans got rug-pulled. This is the worst tokenomics I’ve ever seen and it is a scam.”

Following the backlash after her alleged memecoin failure, the Hawk Tuah girl took to X on December 20, 2024, to address the situation and offer help to those affected:

"I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community. I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter."
