Wrapped Ethereum Insolvency Joke Infuriated Twitter Community

The wETH insolvency FUD started spreading on November 26, with false reports claiming that Wrapped Ethereum is not backed 1:1 by Ether (ETH) and is bankrupt.

cygaar, a blockchain developer and contributor to the ERC-721A token standard, was among the first to propagate the joke before revealing in a subsequent post that it was a “shitpost” to check who was reading his stuff.

Anthony Sassano, the host of The Daily Gwei, too, got in on the wETH joke on November 27 but had to clarify later that the first post was a “shitpost/ meme” after reading the reactions.

Martin Köppelmann, the co-founder of Gnosis, also joined in on the joke, alleging in a tweet that wETH is no longer completely backed by ETH, however again, it was just a joke, and he also linked to a post that explained the joke to those who weren’t aware.
