    Author: David, Deep Tide TechFlow

    A few days ago, no one expected "The Bull Is Here" to explode like this.

    This animated film, which sold only 7,169 yuan nine days before its release, had a cumulative box office of 13.33 million yuan as of the evening of August 17, with Maoyan predicting a final total of 89.21 million. Some cinemas in certain regions received notices to take it off the shelves, citing concerns about "affecting the city's image." On the morning of August 17, even A-shares joined in on the hype: Luoniushan hit the daily limit, and Jinniu Chemical rose over 6%.

    The cryptocurrency world, of course, reacted even faster.

    The token "The Bull Is Here" on the BSC chain reached a market cap of 46 million USD at its peak. On August 17, when rumors of it being taken down spread, it surged 139% in 24 hours. (However, it has since seen a significant drop today.)

    It's been a long time since such an absurd and interesting meme appeared in the Chinese community, but don't FOMO. The creator of the token may not have made any money from "The Bull Is Here," just like you.

    We dug into the on-chain data regarding the dev and the pools of "The Bull Is Here," and here are some observations and insights.

    1. The Token Was Launched in Bulk, but the Dev Didn't Make a Penny from It

    On the morning of August 13, the dev address 0x6af3f52369c39f6ca2d9a50799723feff7ff679e launched two tokens "The Bull Is Here" within six minutes. Over the next four days, it also launched "The Bear Is Gone" and "Trip Over Body."

    The second "The Bull Is Here" became the main token. According to GMGN data, this address had no buy or sell transactions for "The Bull Is Here."

    Looking at the four tokens together is more intuitive:

    In other words, at first, he wasn't sure which "The Bull Is Here" would succeed, or even if "The Bull Is Here" had any potential.

    The first token he launched fell flat, so he quickly launched a second one. The one that survived has a market cap hundreds of times larger than the other three tokens combined, but the profit has nothing to do with him.

    2. The Fourth Token "Trip Over Body" Was the Only One That Made Money

    At 11:18 AM on August 17, this address launched the fourth token "Trip Over Body," corresponding to a meme from the movie "The Bull Is Here."

    Perhaps feeling that he lost out because "The Bull Is Here" became popular without him making any money, in the same transaction where he launched the token, he bought 377 million tokens, accounting for 37.7% of the total supply, spending 2,180 USD.

    Just 90 seconds later, he started selling. Between 11:19 and 11:21, he executed 12 consecutive sell orders in two minutes, making over 10,000 USD. It was like he capitalized on the excitement of the opening to sell to the first wave of buyers.

    Ironically, as of the time of writing, nearly all of this address's profits over the past 30 days came from those two minutes. As for "The Bear Is Gone" and the first "The Bull Is Here," he similarly didn't touch them, and both tokens are now dead.

    So, the popularity of "The Bull Is Here" was probably a surprise to him.

    The way he was familiar with making money was through tokens like "Trip Over Body": launch a token, take 37.7% for himself, and then sell to the first wave of buyers during the excitement of the opening.

    (Updated on the 18th: After the author completed this article, the creator of "The Bull Is Here" launched "The Bull Has Arrived" and "Moo" (which seems to mimic the sound of a cow), both of which also made over 7,000 USD in profits, further reflecting that after not making money from the main token, they started to ramp up...)

    3. The Day Before the Movie Went Viral, the Tokens Were Already Launched

    By using GMGN to look back at this address's history, we can see that the wallet was created on August 12, and the first transaction was a deposit of 0.0074 BNB (about 4.5 USD) received at 11:47 AM on August 13, just enough for gas.

    The address that sent the funds, 0xb716776de8377f7de5f65e87320655327698fd42, was created on August 1 and has no transaction records on-chain; its only action was to send gas to the dev.

    Six minutes later, the first "The Bull Is Here" was launched. The next day, the movie went viral.

    Here’s the timeline:

    • August 12: Wallet created.
    • August 13, 11:47: Received 4.5 USD for gas; 11:53: Launched the first "The Bull Is Here"; 11:59: Launched the second one.
    • August 14: "After 9 Days of Release, Box Office at 7,169 Yuan" went viral.
    • August 15: Launched "The Bear Is Gone" in the early morning.
    • August 17, 11:18: Launched "Trip Over Body," cashing out over 10,000 USD in two minutes.

    From wallet creation to token launch was less than 24 hours, and from receiving gas to launching the token was only 6 minutes. The entire operation was prepared in advance, just waiting for an opportunity.

    From the on-chain traces, this looks more like a bulk launch of a bunch of concept tokens. Four tokens in four days, all launched using the Flap one-click token launch platform (a token launch tool on BSC that allows you to launch a token by just filling in a name, costing a few dollars), without even bothering to change the template.

    4. The Dev Might Just Be a Pawn; The Real Money Maker Is Still in the Game

    The main trading pool for "The Bull Is Here" was not created by this dev.

    On-chain records show that in the early morning of August 15, the address 0x1ab7727e8817402069dc0a2c7d6fc25e76bfc953 created the USDT main pool for "The Bull Is Here," with the first liquidity provided by itself.

    The address that sent it gas was another address, 0x3a62262930534e493d7bf823608291f2544d0b01.

    This latter address is the real player: on-chain records show it has executed 4,861 transactions and is a professional liquidity provider. After the pool was created, it continued to accumulate and collect fees, and even added liquidity on the morning of the 17th and authorized more for "The Bull Is Here" at 2:30 PM.

    It has not exited yet.

    I immediately thought to check the relationship between the dev address and these two pool creation addresses, but after going through 33 transaction records, the dev and these two addresses have never interacted financially, remaining completely parallel.

    One possible conspiracy theory is that the dev is responsible for launching the tokens to ignite interest, making quick profits for himself. The real money maker behind "The Bull Is Here" is someone else, and that person is still at the table. The igniter made 10,000 USD, while the person holding the pool, which had a peak liquidity of 1.24 million USD, is still holding.

    Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that at the moment of the token launch, new token bots snatched 33.9% of the tokens through bundled transactions. Subsequently, these tokens were dispersed and transferred to dozens of addresses, each appearing to be retail investors. Currently, the overall holdings of "The Bull Is Here" seem quite dispersed.

    However, this looks more like a manufactured dispersion; when this chunk of the robot's large holdings synchronously dumps, no one knows.

    Finally, a Magical Reality Check

    On August 16, some cinemas received notices to take "The Bull Is Here" off the shelves, citing concerns about "affecting the city's image." News of a "nationwide suspension" also spread.

    Subsequently, "The Bull Is Here" token was interpreted by P Xiaojun as a "resistance narrative," surging 139% in 24 hours.

    The less favorable it is viewed, the more it rises.

    In reality, the box office of "The Bull Is Here" has already surpassed that of well-produced films. Directed by Guan Hu, starring Huang Bo and Ni Ni, and with an investment of about 200 million, "A Man and a Woman" has a total box office of 3.85 million; "Silent Friends," led by Tony Leung, has 5.2 million.

    Netizens' summary is quite poignant: A man and a woman are not as good as a bull.

    The more it’s restricted, the more it’s desired.

    Whether "The Bull Is Here" will come or not is uncertain, but the attention for rebellion and curiosity has definitely arrived.

    Risk Warning: This article is merely an observation of on-chain information and does not constitute investment advice. Meme coins are extremely volatile; "The Bull Is Here" can rise 139% in 24 hours, but can also drop 22% in a day (as it did on August 18). The identity of the token launch address is unclear, with 33.9% of the tokens concentrated in addresses associated with new token bots, so please be aware of the risks.
