Huge purchases of the Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) meme coin by a whale are attracting the attention of crypto market participants. Today, market analyst Onchain Lens flagged a whale who spent $2.66 million USDT to buy 8.58 million FARTCOIN tokens over the past two days.

That means British taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill to protect the 230-foot-long tapestry against damage or loss during its journey from France to the UK. It’s part of the UK government’s indemnity scheme, which acts as the insurer instead of paying for commercial insurance. However, nothing will be paid upfront; the £800 million is a contingent liability, only coming into play if something goes wrong. Related Articles The Treasury…
