Songs for pumping and dumping: crypto’s Spotify leak

Prices are down this morning on another Donald Trump tariff announcement and disappointing unemployment report.

However, crypto investors have found a silver lining around the market’s bright red heatmap.

Last night, a website borrowing the naming convention of Mossack Fonseca’s Panama Papers claims to have discovered Spotify playlists and favorite songs of some of crypto’s most high-profile key opinion leaders (KOLs).

The so-called Panama Playlists website sources from Spotify and displays no ownership information, linking only to a Proton Mail email.

Its creator claims to have scraped Spotify music playlists as well as daily activity from various celebrities for “over a year.”

Unbothered, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong admitted to its authenticity while many of the other KOLs featured commented on the leak.

The creator of the website spoke to the New York Post about other evidence such as songs linked to romantic partners to support its authenticity.
