Hacker Group Anonymous Announce New Crypto: Anon Inu
Hacker group Anonymous, in response to actions from China and tech billionaire Elon Musk, recently announced plans to launch their own cryptocurrency, Anon Inu.
Anonymous, which originates from a 2003 message board on 4chan, established its worldwide notorious fame through a series of cyberattacks on several governments, institutions and corporations.
The group has claimed responsibility on cyber attacks against government agencies in the US, Tunisia, Uganda and Israel, and on major corporations including PayPal, Mastercard and Visa.
The group’s activities slowed down in 2011 after the FBI cracked down on the organization, leading to the arrest of a key subgroup of Anonymous known as LulzSec.
Earlier this year, Anonymous reemerged on the group’s YouTube channel and began again posting videos. Most recently, an announcement earlier this week highlighted the organization’s newly announced crypto token, Anon Inu.
Anonymous stated on the video that the new token is a direct response to Elon Musk’s influence on the crypto markets and to China for releasing its own digital currency after cracking down Bitcoin mining in the country.
“We believe that crypto is just getting started, so we have released the Anon Inu token, a new [decentralized finance] community token with various built-in utilities.
In addition to fighting Elon Musk in the meme war, the token will also be fighting China in the crypto war. Anon Inu token holders will regularly be airdropped free tokens, [non-fungible tokens], and other prizes.
The team will also be donating a portion of their earnings to animal shelters that help dogs. Token holders will also receive a free Anon Inu profile-pic [non-fungible token].”
The Anon Inu token will operate on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and has a circulating supply of 1 quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) tokens. The coin’s roadmap has not detailed any upcoming technical upgrades, but focuses on Q4 promotional efforts, with plans for collaborations, a listing on CoinMarketCap and influencer partnerships.
