About

Hawk Tuah Twitter Account Sale, also known as Haliey Welch Twitter Account Ownership Change, refers to memes and discourse about the Hawk Tuah Girl, Haliey Welch, purportedly selling her Twitter / X account in early July 2025. The account was renamed from "HawkCoinX" to "Up Only Memes" or "UpOnlyMemes" on July 9th, with the profile picture changed to show a Pepe character. The original account, however, was not her primary one, @halieywelchx, which was banned in March 2025. The @HawkCoinX account was primarily used for the meme coin, which Welch said she did not have control over. Following the account rebrand in July 2025, many internet users eulogized the Hawk Tuah Girl and discussed reasons as to why she would sell her account, with many tying it back to her crypto rug pull controversy from December 2024.

Hawk Tuah Girl's Rug Pull Scandal

Hawk Tuah Girl's $HAWK Meme Coin Rug Pull Scandal, also known as $HAWK Token Rug Pull Controversy, refers to an online controversy involving an alleged rug pull (a cryptocurrency scam in which developers withdraw liquidity or suddenly abandon a project, resulting in the token’s price devaluing immensely) surrounding Hawk Tuah Girl Haliey Welch's meme coin $HAWK. The meme coin was launched on the Solana (SOL) blockchain in early December 2024, soaring to a market cap of roughly $500 million before crashing below $60 million in just 20 minutes, which sparked rumors that Welch's team reportedly held 97 percent of the token supply and immediately started selling upon launch, liquidifying the cryptocurrency. Welch tweeted about the rug pulling rumors after they spread online, stating her team had not "sold one token and not 1 KOL was given 1 free token." Investigations into the incident over the following day allegedly pointed to "snipers" (crypto investors who buy vast quantities of new meme tokens) being to blame for the crash. Two months after the scandal, in February 2025, Welch released an episode of her podcast "Talk Tuah" alongside streamer Faze Banks, to address the situation, claiming she was approached by a supposed industry expert who promised the project would be legitimate, long-term, and partially fund her charity.
