Haliey Welch, a social media influencer who transitioned to podcasting, has recently faced criticism following the launch of her cryptocurrency token. Reports indicate that she raised approximately $3 million from her fans but has not acknowledged or apologized for any fallout stemming from the token's performance. Observers note that her rise to fame was marked by a series of viral moments, and the launch of the crypto-token is seen as a culmination of her brand. Some commentators suggest that Welch may not have fully understood the complexities of cryptocurrency, arguing that her actions align with her meme-based persona rather than a deliberate scheme to defraud investors.
