The coup attempt of the Wagner Group, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, in Russia led to activity in the crypto money markets. On-chain data recorded remarkable data during the short-term coup attempt.

Analyst Jordan Finneseth said these early purchases “Some people know the event beforehand.“He points,” he said.
