Common characteristics of "rug pull" cryptocurrency scams include:Anonymous Teams: Developers hide identities or lack verifiable backgrounds.
Unrealistic Promises: High returns or "get-rich-quick" claims with no solid basis.
Liquidity Issues: Unlocked or short-term locked liquidity pools, enabling quick fund withdrawals.
Malicious Code: Smart contracts with backdoors or restrictions preventing investors from selling.
Hype and FOMO: Aggressive marketing via social media or influencers to inflate token value.
Sudden Exit: Developers abruptly withdraw funds and disappear, leaving tokens worthless.

Protect yourself by researching teams, auditing code, and avoiding projects with red flags.Related websites:  www.coinbase.com
