Investors who bought the latest cryptocurrency listings on Binance in the past six months have seen their investments decline by over 18%, despite a general rally in the cryptocurrency market.
A study by cryptocurrency researcher Flow revealed that more than 80% of these tokens lost value after being listed. Out of 31 tokens analyzed, only five, including MEME, ORDI, Jupiter (JUP), Jito (JTO), and Dogwifhat (WIF), saw their prices rise, defying the overall trend.
Cryptocurrency Listing Trends on Binance and Market Dynamics
In recent months, certain memecoins have shown appreciation amidst a trading frenzy in the cryptocurrency market. Notably, tokens like WIF surged alongside this trend. ORDI also saw gains, attributed to its lack of tier 1 venture capital backing. Similarly, JUP and JTO capitalized on momentum within the Solana blockchain ecosystem.
According to analysts, tokens listed on Binance often come with high valuations, with an average fully diluted valuation (FDV) surpassing $4.2 billion. Despite these valuations, many lack established user bases, which limits their potential for future growth.
Furthermore, these tokens frequently function as “exit liquidity” for insiders who acquired them earlier, taking advantage of retail investors’ limited access to quality early investment opportunities.
Impact of Memecoins Amidst Trading Frenzy
Recently, memecoins like PEPE have reached new all-time highs, fueled by a resurgence in meme stock trading frenzy. This resurgence was sparked by the return of trader Keith Gill, also known as RoaringKitty on X and DFV on Reddit, after a three-year hiatus following his congressional testimony.
Gill’s comeback reignited interest in GameStop (NYSE: GME), driving up the video game retailer’s stock price as retail traders rallied behind it, echoing a similar wave of market activity seen two years ago. This phenomenon garnered significant media attention and even inspired a Netflix series, a movie, and intense financial scrutiny.
In tandem with these events, memecoins in the cryptocurrency space, including DOGE, also experienced surges reminiscent of the 2021 meme stock mania. Analysts have highlighted these trends, pointing to how memecoins can quickly rise in value during periods of heightened retail trading activity.
