MemeCore token M plunged over 75%, facing extreme risk due to insider manipulation and ultra-low liquidity.
🔴$M (MemeCore) evaporated over $3B in market cap within an hour without any news.
Token $M fell from $2,9 to $0,4 and has now modestly recovered to $0,8. Market cap dropped vertically from $3,8B to under $1B within just a few hours.
The volume at the crash was only about $21M, meaning each $1 of trade wiped out more than $140 of market cap.
No FUD, no security vulnerabilities, and no reported attacks. The MemeCore team remained completely silent.
ZachXBT found that there were no $50K trades on BNB Chain for $M over the past two weeks. Liquidity on DEX was only <$100K for a token valued at several billion USD.
In April, ZachXBT questioned Kraken on why it listed M, accusing insiders of holding up to 99,6% of the supply, pointing out $7,9M of $M was withdrawn from Kraken to 18 newly created wallets, and a team-related wallet received 200M tokens right at launch. The FDV at that time was pushed up to ~ $18B.
Recent tokens share a common pattern: low circulating supply (token >90% in insiders' hands), thin liquidity, and CEX/perp listings that create an illusion of market size.
The real question is why major CEXs overlook due diligence and accept listings for tokens with such risky supply-demand structures. DEX liquidity is only 1/10,000 of the listed market cap. Perhaps the exchanges' ultimate goal is profit rather than investor benefit. Moreover, the roller-coaster price swings are what draw people into crypto, and now that coin volatility is only 3-5%, they shift to stocks.
