Bubblemaps said the team extracted over $1M by cycling USDC in and out of the liquidity pool, a pattern that can elevate execution risk for participants once liquidity thins. For holders and traders, the operational takeaway is that onchain liquidity management, not just headline price action, is shaping the risk posture and slippage outcomes.

Next, watch for additional liquidity movements onchain and whether either account publishes more wallet links or transaction context that tightens attribution. Follow-up disclosures on how liquidity was added, removed, or recycled will be the clearest signal for where $NYC’s market structure is heading.
