It is no longer a secret that this run up seen in crypto is mainly driven by decentralised finance. As things progressed and more money begun flowing into this sector, weird trends started to emerge. One of those trends is food-inspired coins such as Yam, Pizza and Sushi.
Sushi: Not just a meme
Despite the belief that most of these tokens and projects are vaporware, SushiSwap was able to achieve something significant: locking in over $1,000,000,000 in value in a matter of weeks (70%+ of Uniswap).
The project is a fork of the most liquid and popular decentralised exchange: Uniswap. Unlike Uniswap its liquidity originally came from the community and all liquidity providers were rewarded with the SUSHI token. That token sky-rocketed in price and became worth north of $10 at its peak.
Chef Nomi
The creator of this project was an anonymous figure going under the name of “Chef Nomi”. On September 5th, he sold his stack in exchange for ETH. At the time of the transaction, his SUSHI were worth $13 million. This happened simultaneously as prices were taking a hit which added more selling pressure to SUSHI and sent it down -60% in a day. This effect also seemed to have propagated into ETH which took a harder hit than other large caps.
Exit Scam?
Chef Nomi was accused of exit scamming even though he “explained” that him selling is so he can focus purely on the development and deployment of the project. This is similar to what Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin, said when he sold his LTC at the height of the 2017 bubble. This was in fact referred to by Nomi.
People asked if I exited scam. I did not. I am still here. I will continue to participate in the discussion. I will help with the technical part. I will help ensure we have a successful migration.@SatoshiLite did that and Litecoin had no problem surviving.

But nonetheless, his actions had a negative effect on the price and it also shook people’s trust out of place.
Sam Bankman-Fried
Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is the CEO of both FTX and Alameda Research. The latter owned a large portion of the SUSHI supply which they earned by providing liquidity. After the actions taken by Nomi which caused him to lose the public’s trust, SBF was chosen to take over. SBF, after the receiving the SUSHI key, is transferring the control to a multisig to be chosen by the community. This positive turn of events had a positive price impact on SUSHI’s price and sent it upwards of 100% in three hours.

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.
