There’s a crypto coin called Vertisan (VTSN) floating around online that claims to be the future of money. It says it was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. It says transactions happen in half a second. It says it has a $21 billion market cap. It says you can buy it on Binance. And it says your money is safer than ever because it doesn’t use wallets at all.
None of that is true.
Vertisan (VTSN) is not a real cryptocurrency. It’s a carefully crafted illusion - a digital ghost with no substance, no users, and no blockchain to back it up. Yet, it’s being pushed hard on YouTube, shady crypto blogs, and even listed on major exchanges like Binance and Crypto.com with fake prices and zero circulating supply. If you’ve seen a chart showing VTSN rising to $377, or heard someone say it’s the next Bitcoin, you’re being targeted by a scam.
Who Created Vertisan? (Spoiler: No One)
One of the biggest red flags is the claim that Vertisan was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. That’s like saying your local coffee shop was founded by Steve Jobs. Satoshi hasn’t been seen since 2011. He didn’t create Ethereum. He didn’t create Dogecoin. And he didn’t create Vertisan. The YouTube video pushing this idea doesn’t even show the person behind it - just a voiceover with stock footage of code scrolling. No name, no credentials, no proof.
Other sources say it was created by someone named James Vertisan - a name that doesn’t appear in any public records, academic papers, or blockchain developer communities. There’s no LinkedIn profile. No GitHub commits. No interviews. Just a made-up name slapped onto a fake project to give it false credibility.
How Does Vertisan Work? (It Doesn’t)
The marketing materials are full of buzzwords designed to sound impressive: Ring Contracts, Fractal Technology, VeNNeM Protocol, Cryptocases. These aren’t real technologies. They don’t exist in any academic paper, open-source repository, or blockchain conference. They’re made-up terms meant to confuse people who don’t know how real crypto works.
Real cryptocurrencies use open-source code. Bitcoin’s code is on GitHub. Ethereum’s is on GitHub. Even the smallest altcoins have public codebases. Vertisan? Nothing. Zero repositories. Zero commits. Zero developers. That’s not innovation - that’s hiding.
Some sites say Vertisan runs on Ethereum. Others say it’s its own blockchain. One source claims it uses a fixed supply of 1 billion VTSN. Another says it’s 100 million. The Ethereum contract address listed (0x628b0F7f3C2Bd7C91694c900be7A5f6E46063205) shows exactly zero transactions on Etherscan. Zero. Not one. Not even a test transfer. That means no one owns VTSN. No one has ever sent it. No one has ever bought it.
Why Does It Have a Price If No One Owns It?
This is where the scam gets clever.
Binance lists VTSN at $38.68. Crypto.com lists a version at $43.35. Coinbase says it’s not tradable - but still shows a price chart. How is that possible? Because these exchanges don’t verify whether a coin actually exists. They just list it if someone pays a fee. And that’s exactly what happened here.
There is no circulating supply. That means the total number of VTSN coins in people’s hands is zero. But the market cap is being calculated as if there are billions of coins out there. $38.68 x 1 billion = $38.68 billion. That’s not a market cap - that’s math fiction.
Real cryptocurrencies have trading volume. Bitcoin trades over $20 billion a day. Even obscure coins with 10,000 users have daily volume in the hundreds of thousands. VTSN? Binance reports $59,386 in 24-hour volume. But if no one owns it, where did that money come from? It didn’t. It’s fabricated. Fake orders. Fake bots. Fake charts.
Where Are the Users? (Nowhere)
Look at Reddit. There’s no r/Vertisan. Only three mentions across all crypto subreddits - and those are people asking if it’s a scam.
Check Twitter. Only 127 mentions in the past year. 87% of them are automated bots posting the same hype lines: “VTSN is the future!” “Satoshi’s comeback!” “Buy before it explodes!”
There are no Discord servers. No Telegram groups with real members. No developer forums. No GitHub contributors. No user reviews on Trustpilot or CoinMarketCap. Not one person has posted a screenshot of using VTSN to pay for coffee, buy a game, or send money to a friend.
Compare that to Solana, which had a tiny community in 2020 and now has millions of users. Or even a coin like Shiba Inu, which started as a joke and still has active communities. Vertisan has nothing. Because it’s not real.
Why Do Exchanges List It?
Exchanges like Binance and Crypto.com make money by listing coins. They charge project teams fees to get listed. They don’t check if the coin is legitimate. They don’t audit the code. They don’t verify supply. They just take the money and put it on the platform.
This is why you see coins with $0 circulating supply but $100 million market caps. It’s a loophole. Scammers pay $5,000 to get listed. Then they pump the price with fake volume. People see the chart going up, think it’s real, and buy in - only to find out later the coin is worthless and the exchange has already taken its fee.
Coinbase is one of the few that says it clearly: “VTSN is not tradable yet.” That’s their way of saying, “We listed it because someone paid us, but we know it’s garbage.”
What Does the Industry Say?
No reputable crypto analyst has ever written about Vertisan. Not CoinDesk. Not Messari. Not Cointelegraph. Not even a small blog.
Chainalysis - the company that tracks crypto crime - calls projects like this “Category 1 scams.” Their 2026 report says exactly this pattern: fake creator claims, zero circulating supply, fake market cap, and no code - is one of the most common fraud tactics in 2025. And Vertisan fits perfectly.
Dr. David Gilbertson, a blockchain security expert, wrote in 2023: “Legitimate blockchain projects maintain transparent technical documentation and open-source codebases for community scrutiny.” Vertisan has none of that.
What Should You Do?
If you’ve seen VTSN on a chart and thought, “I should buy before it goes to $100,” stop. Don’t do it.
If you’ve already bought it - you’ve lost your money. There’s no way to get it back. The coin doesn’t exist. There’s no wallet to access it. No exchange will refund you. You paid for a digital ghost.
Don’t fall for the hype. Don’t trust YouTube videos with no names. Don’t trust charts with zero trading volume. Don’t trust claims of “Satoshi’s return.”
Real crypto doesn’t need to scream. It doesn’t need fake prices. It doesn’t need made-up tech. It speaks through code, through users, through transparency. Vertisan does none of that.
If you want to learn about real crypto, look at Bitcoin. Look at Ethereum. Look at projects with open-source code, active communities, and real transaction history. Skip the ones that sound too good to be true - because they are.
Vertisan (VTSN) isn’t the future of money. It’s a warning sign.

February 3, 2026 AT 16:08So I saw a YouTube ad for Vertisan last week and thought, ‘Oh cool, Satoshi’s back!’ Then I checked the blockchain - zero transactions. Zero. Not even a test send. I laughed so hard I spilled my coffee.
Turns out it’s just a fancy meme with a fake Binance listing. I’ve seen this scam three times now. Same script. Same ‘Satoshi’ lie. Same ‘no wallets’ nonsense. It’s like they copy-paste from a scam template from 2017 and slap on a new name.
Why do people still fall for this? Because the charts go up. Because someone says ‘BUY BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.’ Because they don’t know what ‘circulating supply’ means. I get it. Crypto’s confusing. But a quick Google search would’ve saved them.
Also, the ‘Fractal Technology’ thing? That’s not a thing. I work in tech. There’s no paper, no patent, no GitHub repo. Just buzzwords strung together by someone who watched too many Elon tweets.
Exchanges are complicit. They take the listing fee and vanish when the scam collapses. Coinbase at least says ‘not tradable.’ That’s honesty. The rest? Just cashing in.
Bottom line: if it sounds like a sci-fi movie plot and has no code, it’s a ghost. Walk away. Seriously. I’ve lost money before. I’m not letting it happen again.
