Not long after slamming cryptocurrency enthusiasts as the “degenerate losers” after rumors had started that he might be planning to launch his own digital asset, controversial influencer Andrew Tate has again shaken the cryptoverse by claiming he had made a fortune during the last crypto bull run.
As it happens, the social media personality and former professional kickboxer recently voiced his opinion on the current state of the crypto market, drawing attention to the differences between meme coins and blockchain projects he believes have real-world applications, in an X post on March 18.
What did Andrew Tate say?
Indeed, Tate acknowledged there might be worthwhile digital assets out there, claiming he made $85 million on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms or “Defi land” during the previous bull run, and asking his followers whether they knew what these beneficial cryptocurrencies were during this time around.
There’s meme coins that’s great.
But each bull run there are the genuinely technological useful or innovating blockchain coins.
Last bull run was Defi land. Made 85M on pancake.
Do you know what they are this bull run?

As a reminder, the influencer earlier firmly denied the rumors he was launching his crypto asset, criticizing the space as offering zero value to society and disparaging its participants as “the biggest degenerate losers on the planet” whom he sees as inferior and as having no skills.
Fueling crypto rumors
Specifically, the rumors started in early February, when Tate announced he would launch his coin, back it with his own $100 million, and never sell, and that he would offer the members of his Hustler’s University early access at a discount but he subsequently deleted the post, as Finbold reported on February 2.
Elsewhere, back in July 2023, Romanian prosecutors seized 21 Bitcoin (BTC) from him as part of the investigation over accusations of rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized crime group in that country. August 2023 saw Andrew Tate released from house arrest and waiting for the trial under judicial control.
