Tom Holland, the 27-year-old actor renowned for his role as Spider-Man in Marvel’s latest franchise, has once again captured the online spotlight. This time, the focus was not on Hollywood gossip, updates about his partner Zendaya, or teasers for superhero films.
Fans were surprised when Holland posted a mysterious clue on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) on April 16, hinting at a potential collaboration with the cryptocurrency platform Binance. Although the post has since been removed, it encouraged followers to sign up for early access to a new digital currency named $SPIDER coin, purportedly associated with a Spider-Verse project.
Suspicions Arise Over Tom Holland’s X Account
Given Holland’s minimal activity on social media, his post caused confusion among users. Many found it unlikely that Holland would endorse cryptocurrency, leading to speculation that his account might have been compromised.
Moreover, Holland’s account bio was modified to feature a link related to the alleged partnership.
Additionally, another post surfaced featuring a selfie of an unidentified individual, possibly the hacker, with a caption alluding to a scene from the early 2000s Spider-Man movie directed by Sam Raimi and starring Tobey Maguire.
Both the cryptocurrency-related post and the photo posts have been taken down.
Reactions from Netizens
The incident triggered a wave of responses from bewildered fans. While some were relieved that Holland had not genuinely supported cryptocurrency, others took the opportunity to jest about the peculiar situation. There was also playful banter regarding why the hacker did not exploit the chance to fabricate fake teasers for Spider-Man 4.
