The cryptocurrency $REAL jointly launched by MMA superstar Conor McGregor and Real World Gaming DAO raised only $392,000 in 28 hours of pre-sale, which did not reach the minimum fundraising threshold of $1.008 million. The project declared a temporary failure and a full refund. Despite McGregor's strong promotion on social platforms, the coin was still received by the market, reflecting the weakening interest in star-endorsed projects in the crypto market, at a time when the overall market was sluggish and the volume of memecoin was shrinking.
