This week, a controversial Binance listing has shaken up the meme coin market.
First Neiro on Ethereum Skyrockets
‘First Neiro on Ethereum’ has exploded over 10x in one day after being listed on Binance. Most market participants were unaware of this token until Binance announced the spot listing. At the time, First Neiro on Ethereum had a $15 million market cap, but it quickly shot up to $150 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $449 million, making it the 14th most traded cryptocurrency.
Reaction and Criticism
Critics accused Binance of manipulation after listing the obscure Neiro token with a $15 million market cap. Accusations are based on the fact that Neiro Ethereum, which was added to Binance's futures listing 10 days ago, was not added to the spot listing, causing significant losses for its investors. Neiro Ethereum's market cap has plummeted by 35%, now sitting at $85 million. One critic, Yazan, explained that those with insider knowledge could have profited significantly by shorting Neiro Ethereum on Binance and investing in First Neiro on Ethereum before the listing was announced.
Implications for the Neiro Token Market
The ramifications of Binance listing First Neiro on Ethereum have benefited its holders but devastated Neiro Ethereum holders. This situation highlighted the interchangeable nature of many meme coins. The difference between listing First Neiro on Ethereum and Neiro Ethereum was arbitrary, making it difficult to create an edge in trading such tokens.
The controversial listing of First Neiro on Ethereum on Binance has generated significant buzz in the meme coin market, underscoring its volatility and unpredictability. Market participants will closely monitor the ongoing developments of this situation.
