The collection’s floor price drop has been widely attributed to its founder, “Ice Bagz,” and its team members allegedly promoting the RTR token, which purported to be an “official” Trump token. However, Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump firmly denied the token’s connection with the family.

After the Trump family denied involvement with the RTR token, the price crashed 95%. Because of this, the community went after members of the Kanpai Pandas team who had been seen promoting the token on X before there were any official statements from Trump.Source:Legacy Ape


An X user called Legacy Ape shared screenshots of the Kanpai Pandas team members promoting the token on X. Meanwhile, another community member shared a screenshot alleging that Kanpai Labs was behind the token’s Google advertisements.
