You Won’t Believe What ALPACA Did After Binance Announced a Delisting!

by

Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency playground, has decided to toss four tokens off its platform. These unlucky tokens include Alpaca Finance (ALPACA), PlayDapp (PDA), Wing Finance (WING), and Viberate (VIB). It’s like the crypto equivalent of being kicked out of the VIP club after the bouncer realizes you’re not wearing enough crypto swagger.

While most of these tokens experienced a sudden and dramatic plunge (as if they just found out their favorite Netflix show got canceled), ALPACA did the unexpected. It actually soared. Yep, it surged. We’ll get to that in a moment because it’s a plot twist no one saw coming.

Binance Makes Room for New Tokens, Kicks ALPACA, PDA, WING, and VIB to the Curb

According to the official announcement, the delisting will take effect on May 2 at 03:00 UTC. After May 3, don’t even think about depositing these tokens because Binance will show them the door. And just to be clear, after July 4, you won’t be able to withdraw them either. It’s like that friend who overstays their welcome at your party—except Binance is kicking them out for good.

Oh, and for anyone holding out hope for a last-minute win on Binance Futures, the clock’s ticking—open positions related to these tokens will be closed by April 30. No more gambling with these in your futures portfolio. It’s over.

Binance’s reason for the boot is the usual. These tokens didn’t pass the review process, which includes factors like volume, liquidity, and whether the project is doing anything useful (hint: these tokens weren’t doing much). It’s like a popularity contest in high school, and these tokens didn’t make the cut.

“When a coin or token no longer meets these standards or the industry landscape changes, we conduct a more in-depth review and potentially delist it,” Binance said, because they obviously have to justify their decision in some corporate-sounding way.

This announcement followed a second round of Binance’s “Vote to Delist” campaign. PDA got 8.2% of the vote, ALPACA snagged 6.3%, and WING gathered a measly 3.8%. VIB didn’t even make the cut, which is a bit like being left out of a group text—except it’s your token’s future at stake. Ouch.

Interestingly, despite FTX Token (FTT) pulling ahead with 11.1% of the votes, Binance somehow decided to spare it. Maybe Binance is just playing favorites, who knows?

ALPACA’s Surprising 71% Surge Leaves Everyone Scratching Their Heads

Now, here’s the real mystery: ALPACA. Despite the fact that it’s about to be unceremoniously kicked off the exchange, its price skyrocketed by a jaw-dropping 71.3%. Its trading volume also shot up by a ridiculous 417.2%. It’s like watching a guy get dumped on TV, then suddenly becoming the life of the party. So what’s going on here?

Normally, news of a delisting sends prices into a tailspin. Just look at WING, which dropped 31.8%, or VIB, which crumbled by 29.7%. PDA also faced a 17.0% dip. The market was basically in a “crying over spilled tokens” mood.

But ALPACA? Nope, ALPACA decided to party, and analysts started wondering if it had a little help. In fact, an analyst on X (formerly known as Twitter) suggested that this surge might have been orchestrated. Could there be some foul play involved? Possibly, because when a coin rises that much out of nowhere, people get suspicious.

“ALPACA after a major dump showed immense squeeze. Rised to over 100%; liquidated some heavy shorters, heavy manipulation out there,” said the analyst, because apparently, everyone loves a good conspiracy theory when money’s involved.

The analyst warned users to be cautious, advising that this could be one of those “exit scams” where the price is pumped just to dump it on unsuspecting investors. So, before you go putting all your life savings into ALPACA (because why wouldn’t you?), maybe wait for the dust to settle. Unless you enjoy roller coasters, in which case, this market is *definitely* for you.
