Head of Product at Opensea accused of 'insider trading'
A Twitter user named @ZuwuTV accuses the head of product of Opensea, better known as Nate Chastain, of what users on Twitter call "insider trading". According to the accusations Nate Chastain was buying items before they appeared on the front page of Opensea to then sell them for a profit at the moment the front page was updated.
A user on Twitter found out about the suspicious transactions
According to @ZuwuTV's findings, Nate had created several secret wallets used to buy up NFTs before they appeared on the front page. Zuwu claims that after Nate bought these items the front page of OpenSea was updated to display them pointing to screenshots of the Wayback Machine. Nate then sold the items to his customers at a profit when Opensea displayed the art on the front page. The user claims that these transactions were made by Nate Chastain, as he left traces when he returned the profit from these sales back to his original wallet.Later, Zuwu shared a document that contained many screenshots of transactions made from wallets allegedly belonging to Opensea's head of product. According to Zuwu, Not all of the information in this document is confirmed. He states that the yellow-colored wallets are believed to be Nates, the red are supposed to be attached to Nate, and the white are unconfirmed wallets that deserve further investigation.
Opensea is conducting a thorough review of the accusations
Opensea has responded to the accusations with a statement saying: "Yesterday we learned that one of our employees purchased items that they knew were set to display on our front page before they appeared there publicly." The company explained that they find this behavior disappointing and hopes that users understand that this behavior does not represent OpenSea as a whole. According to the company they have now also implemented new policies stating that team members are not allowed to buy or sell from collections or creators while they are being featured on the home page and employees are prohibited from using confidential information to purchase or sell any NFTs.Some users on Twitter also point out that this is not the first time Nate has been accused of front-running customers. On August 3 this year, one user pointed out that he had jumped on something before everyone else. Nate responded to this tweet with, "I just wanted to secure one of these before they all disappeared, tbh."
Blockchain technology makes research like this possible
While the event could be seen as bad press for the NFT industry, there is also an argument that the only reason Zuwu discovered these transactions was because of the transparency of the blockchain. A large group of NFT collectors and artists also came together in a Twitter space of @DeezeFi to discuss the matter. Many realized that this discussion was only possible because of the technology behind these NFTs. In traditional finance, transactions like this would not have been public, and it would have been much harder to find out that Nate his wallet was connected to these transactions.Many users are also hoping that if the allegations are true, Opensea will try to change its front page to ensure that employees can not curate the front page or know which items are going to be displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
