<p>According to content generated by the community on X, the Hawk token’s supply was allegedly “sniped” shortly after launch. This refers to instances where early investors or bots snatch up large amounts of tokens, leaving the broader community with less access and exposing them to risks. These are often warning signs of the health of the project as it shows few people own the token.&nbsp;However, not all holders have sold their HAWKs, as <a href="https://x.com/ZeusLFG/status/1864448873881592212" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">posted</a> by a user, ZeusLFG, reflecting a strong optimism for the token. </p>
