Watch Out! Mantra Crashes Like A Bad Set at a Comedy Club! 🤣

by

Well folks, gather ’round! It seems that the Mantra (OM)—a layer 1 project dreaming of tokenizing the real world—has just belly-flopped into the shallow end of the investment pool! 🏊‍♂️ Splash! What was once a dazzling show of crypto fireworks is now being compared to the Tera Luna (UST) disaster. You know, because who doesn’t love a good crash? 🎆💥

This project was like the prom king of crypto, promising retail and institutional investors the moon and stars—$7.4 billion in market cap, and then, BOOM!—back to $782 million faster than you can say “liquidation!” All of this happened on that fateful Monday, April 14, right around when most people were figuring out what to do for lunch. 🍔

Binance Hits the Stage

And what’s this? Binance, our trusty crypto lifeguard, has jumped in with both feet! More than $71 million liquidated from the leveraged OM markets in the last 24 hours—mostly at Bybit. That’s like watching your buddy try to impress a girl with magic tricks, and he pulls a rabbit out of his hat that promptly runs away! 🐇✨ Binance declared that cross-exchange liquidation gave OM its not-so-funny faceplant today.

But wait, there’s more! According to Binance, the dramatic change in OM’s tokenomics is doing its part in this tragicomedy. They cranked up the circulating supply from a nifty 888,888,888 to a jaw-dropping 1,777,777,777. Roman numerals, anyone? 😜

And if that wasn’t enough, the MANTRA team decided to uncork the champagne and let inflation run wild at a sizzling 3 percent a year—because who doesn’t love more tokens? They introduced this delightful twist as a way to spice up the staking rewards. I mean, let’s be real, who doesn’t want to stake a bit more confusion on top? 🍾🎊

“Since October of last year, Binance has been doing a tightrope act with risks, reducing leverage levels for $OM like a circus performer trying not to drop the flaming batons! Since January, they’ve slapped a ‘watch out’ pop-up on their trading page, letting users know the OM was now ‘different’—kinda like that friend who shows up at the party in a clown suit!” 🤡 Binance quipped.

What’s the Next Act?

After a dizzying sell-off of more than 43.6 million OM coins that contributed to a near $227 million loss today, the focus is now on team allocation, like a magician pulling rabbits out of… well, you get the idea. While the Mantra crew attempts to reassure investors they’ve got this under control, it might take a hearty buyback from the secondary market to restore the faith of their adoring fans! 🎩🐰

But let’s face it, the RWA space is like a crowded buffet—everyone’s trying to pick the best dish amidst the chaos of poorly managed projects as they gear up for altseason. Grab your forks, folks, it’s gonna be a wild feast! 🍽️😅
