Week 22, 2026: $32,459,995 extracted from retail investors on PancakeSwap V2 — virtually unchanged from Week 21’s $32,422,973 (+0.1%). Two consecutive weeks at the same extraction level signals a plateau. The $32.5M floor is not a recovery — it is the baseline the rug pull industry sustains between cycles. Running 22-week total: $634.8M.
Week 21, 2026: $32.4M extracted from retail investors on PancakeSwap V2 — down 15.7% vs Week 20, but rug pull events jumped +24.4% to 6,768. More operators, lower average value per rug. The W20 high-value spike is giving way to broader-volume extraction. Running 21-week total: $602.7M.
