Hayden Davis

Note: Hayden Davis is under investigation and denies wrongdoing; he has not been convicted. Attribution of the $MELANIA, $WOLF, and $HOOD launches to him rests largely on on-chain analysis (Bubblemaps) and reporting, not a court finding.

Bio

Hayden Mark Davis is the CEO of Kelsier Ventures (which he runs with his father Tom and brother Gideon). He is the figure at the center of the February 2025 $LIBRA scandal in Argentina, where President Javier Milei briefly publicized the token before it crashed ~90%; wallets linked to Davis/Kelsier reportedly netted over $100 million while investors lost an estimated $251 million. ^[1][2]

A cluster of launches

On-chain investigators at Bubblemaps (with Coffeezilla) traced a shared wallet cluster (notably address 0xcEA…) tying $LIBRA to $MELANIA, the "Wolf of Wall Street" token $WOLF (launched March 8, 2025; ~$42M peak, then −99%), and $HOOD — each showing the same bundled-supply and sniper-wallet patterns. Davis publicly defended his role in $LIBRA but on-chain evidence pointed to repeated involvement. ^[1][2]

Status

Argentine prosecutor Gregorio Dalbón formally requested an Interpol Red Notice in March 2025; as of reporting, Interpol had not issued one. Davis remained under investigation and denied making improper payments. ^[1][2]
