When you hear Captain Tsubasa TSUGT, a name borrowed from a famous Japanese anime about soccer. Also known as TSUGT, it’s being pushed online as a new crypto token—but there’s no real project behind it. This isn’t a blockchain game, a DeFi protocol, or a legitimate airdrop. It’s a scam using a beloved anime brand to lure people into fake websites and phishing links.
Scammers love attaching popular names to worthless tokens. Crypto scams, fraudulent projects pretending to be real often copy names from anime, celebrities, or big brands. They promise free tokens, high returns, or exclusive access. But if you search for Captain Tsubasa TSUGT on CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or any official blockchain explorer, you’ll find nothing. No contract address. No team. No whitepaper. No community. Just a few social media accounts with stock images and copy-pasted hype.
This is the same pattern we’ve seen with fake airdrops, like CovidToken or HyperGraph HGT—projects that don’t exist but still get thousands of people signing up with their wallets. These scams don’t need to work long. They just need to get a few people to connect their wallets and pay gas fees. Or worse, download malware disguised as a token claim tool.
Real blockchain projects don’t hide behind anime characters. They publish code on GitHub. They have transparent teams. They list on at least one major exchange. They answer questions in public forums. If a project sounds too good to be true—and uses a name you recognize from a cartoon—it probably is.
Below, you’ll find real examples of crypto scams, failed tokens, and misleading airdrops that followed the same playbook. You’ll learn how to spot them before you lose money. No fluff. No hype. Just clear signs that something’s wrong.
TSUGT is the utility token for the blockchain game Captain Tsubasa: RIVALS, built on Polygon. Despite the manga's global popularity, the token has lost 99.7% of its peak value and faces low player engagement. Learn how it works and whether it's still worth considering in 2025.
