SYRUP Skyrockets! Binance Listing Causes Market Fainting Spell—Will It Hit $0.40?

by

Well, well, well, SYRUP is having quite the fête, isn’t it? No sooner did the dear token make its debut on Binance—complete with the sort of fanfare usually reserved for starlets and second-rate royalty—than it started cavorting skywards with all the subtlety of an over-caffeinated chorus line. Clearly, crypto is the new West End, darling.

According to that ever-reliable oracle, crypto.news, the inimitable Maple Finance (that’s SYRUP to friends and fellow speculators) launched into the stratosphere to a dizzying intraday high of $0.29 on May 6. That’s a sprightly 240% leap from last month’s layabout lows. Of course, gravity being what it is, the price has since slipped back to a less vertiginous $0.23, still offering a market cap that would make even the most jaded trust fund baby swoon: $253 million. (Do count your commas; they matter!)

The action was positively feverish, with trading volume ballooning by—wait for it—2,400% to nearly $177 million. One suspects even the chap who designed the SYRUP logo is struggling to keep up. Not to be outdone, futures market open interest also pirouetted upwards, up 2,400% in a day and landing at a record $6.72 million. One can only imagine the traders: cocktails in hand, monocles popping left and right. 🍸

And what, you may ask, provided the ignition for all this capering about? Why, the twin blessings of listings on Binance and Bitget, of course, both on May 6. Deposits opened at once—ahead of schedule for a change in crypto—and withdrawals are to be unleashed today at 15:00 UTC. Mark your clocks, hedge your bets, and do try not to make an absolute spectacle of yourself in the process, won’t you?

There’s nothing quite as invigorating for a token’s price as finding itself on the menu of two major exchanges; suddenly, everyone wants a taste. Before one could say “DeFi darling,” accessibility improved, market depth deepened, and investor participation swelled. It’s a wonder the platform didn’t ask for a standing ovation.

Meanwhile, over at Maple Finance HQ, the team has been making merry, too. DeFiLlama (who presumably wears an alpaca-patterned tuxedo at all times) observed that Maple’s total value locked soared to an all-time high of $1.26 billion on May 7—up over 180% since the dawn of 2025. Either growing trust in the platform… or someone pressed the wrong button.

And for those who prefer their data dry yet sparkling, Dune Analytics reports Maple’s revenue hopped jauntily from $150,000 last June to a rather more grandiose $622,000 last month. Not quite “retire in Monaco” numbers, but certainly enough for a healthy round of cocktails at Claridge’s. 🍾

SYRUP, for its part, is trending on Google search. Retail punters have gathered, armed with little more than a search bar and dreams of crypto glory. Hopelessly optimistic? Yes. Entertaining? Always.

SYRUP price analysis

The daily chart is looking positively radiant. The 20-day EMA (decked out in regal blue) has swept above the 50-day EMA (the reliable old green), forming what traders with a flair for drama call a “golden cross.” Translation: the bulls are lining up for their chorus number, and the bears have been politely asked to exit stage left. 🐂

The Bull Bear Power indicator (which sounds like something one orders at a particularly avant-garde cocktail bar) has produced seven glowing green candles in a row. Buyers, it seems, are having their moment in the limelight. Meanwhile, the Supertrend indicator has turned green, as if to say, “By all means, carry on!”

With this much sparkle and razzle-dazzle, SYRUP appears poised to retest that oh-so-shiny $0.30 mark, just shy of its all-time high of $0.33. If the euphoria continues—and everyone manages to keep their wits about them—a dash past $0.33 could see the token prancing towards $0.40. That’s assuming, of course, that crypto traders don’t all simultaneously decide to chase the next shiny object.

All that said, a little caution wouldn’t go amiss. The Relative Strength Index has over-indulged at the bullish buffet and is now nestled firmly in overbought territory. A short spell of profit-taking and collective deep breathing might well precede any further fireworks.
