sashimi.fun presents itself as "the USDC-native memecoin launchpad on Arc," borrowing the names of USDC and the Arc network to look like a legitimate token-launch platform. PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page aimed at memecoin traders hunting for early launches. We first flagged it on 2026-09-15. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its content.
How the scam works
Launchpad impersonations rely on the urgency of new token drops. The visitor is told to connect a wallet and buy into a launch, usually with USDC. The steps that follow are where the theft happens: a token approval or signature that hands over spending rights, or a direct transfer of stablecoins for tokens that never arrive or cannot be sold. Because the page sells itself as USDC-native, a victim's stablecoin balance is the most likely target.
Evidence
VirusTotal shows 6 of 91 engines flagging the domain as of 2026-09-25: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. Six detections is a low count, but six independent vendors converging within weeks of registration is a meaningful signal for a fresh crypto domain. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses. Among blocklists, it is currently listed by PhishDestroy only, so many browsers and wallets may not warn users yet.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on 2026-09-08, just seven days before we detected it. That short gap fits a site built for a quick campaign rather than a long-running project. It resolves to 76.76.21.21 on Amazon.com, Inc. network space in the US. Its Let's Encrypt certificate is free and automated, so the browser padlock says nothing about whether the site is trustworthy.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to sashimi.fun, review token approvals with a revocation tool and cancel any you did not intend, especially unlimited USDC allowances. If you signed messages you did not understand or sent funds, move your remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Never share a seed phrase or private key; no launchpad needs one. Keep transaction hashes, because they matter when you report the loss to your wallet provider or exchange. Security teams should block the domain and its IP at DNS and proxy level and watch for lookalike launchpad domains that reuse Arc and USDC branding.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
