Content creator Yskaela Fujimoto moved to defend herself from accusations of “rug pulling” her $YSKA token on PumpFun by publicly denying the claim and announcing that she had donated nearly ₱1 million worth of her token rewards to charity.
BitPinas reached out to Yskaela before publishing this story but has yet to receive a reply at the time of publication.
Rewards Donated
In a series of posts, Fujimoto said she has donated $17,100 (around ₱973,000) worth of funds from her $YSKA token rewards to five charities.
She noted that each group received $3,420 (₱194,000), including Save the Children, the Pacquiao Foundation, MrBeast’s Team Trees and Team Water initiatives, and Hope for Paws.
Fujimoto also thanked a community member for assisting her in processing the crypto donations.
After completing the transfers, Fujimoto said she locked the developer wallet and used 30% of the funds, or around $12,000 (₱682,000), to buy back into the $YSKA token, which she also locked.
She added that moving forward, 100 percent of her fees will be allocated to charities, giveaways, and future streams on PumpFun.
In a separate update, Fujimoto said she locked 16,349,814 YSKA tokens through Streamflow, a token vesting and distribution platform, and noted that the amount, duration, and recipients are verifiable on-chain.
Denying Accusations
These donations come after she denies allegations made in a now-deleted Facebook post, which had garnered over 5,000 reactions, where a Filipino crypto community leader accused Fujimoto of “rug-pulling” her token $YSKA.
Upon launch, the coin climbed around $500,000 market cap but rapidly fell to around $120,000 which sparked accusations of rug pull.
In response, Fujimoto shared in statements posted on Facebook and X that she has been receiving hate, criticism, and threats after her livestream of her stream on PumpFun, where the token was discussed.
Pump.fun is a crypto-powered streaming platform that automatically issues creator tokens and allows streamers to earn a share of trading fees.
She clarified that she never sold any tokens and did not intend to profit from the project.
“I want to make it clear also that I did not rug pull and I never sold a single token. I never planned to profit from anything. I take full accountability for the situation. I should have studied how crypto works before entering pump.fun. I really am sorry.”

Moreover, Fujimoto also said she would give away 1 SOL each (around ₱13,400, as of writing) to 10 people from her creator rewards during her next stream.
In addition to her statement, content creator and community leader Big Daddy Daks said Fujimoto joined their Discord server, where she admitted she was unaware of how the platform worked.
Fujimoto has over 11 million followers on TikTok, 1.5 million on Facebook, and 687,000 on X.
