🐒 The LOST MONKEY: The Story of a Memecoin
In the frantic world of cryptocurrencies, the narrative is everything. Almost a year ago, in December 2024, the memecoin Wise Monkey (MONKY) burst onto the scene with one of the most ambitious launch strategies (TGE) and a massive airdrop that promised a stellar takeoff.
Inspired by the proverb of the 'Three Wise Monkeys' (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil), MONKY aimed to become a cultural phenomenon. The project engages with leading ecosystems like Floki Inu ($FLOKI) and ApeCoin ($APE)
❓ The Promise and the Reality One Year Later
A year later, the initial euphoria has been replaced by a crucial observation:
A Spot listing was expected on major platforms.
The token is listed and trades on second-tier CEX and DEX (PancakeSwap).
Binance fulfilled the distribution, but officially never guaranteed the listing. The quotation on the leading platform remains pending.
Price (All-Time High)
High potential after the TGE (around $0.00003281 USD).
The price has depreciated considerably since the ATH, a reflection of the lack of a catalyst for mass adoption.
The Lesson of the Lost Monkey
The story of MONKY is a powerful reminder for the crypto community:
Airdrop Support $\neq$ Spot Listing: The logistical support of an exchange to distribute tokens (airdrop) does not mean that the token will meet the rigorous listing criteria.
The Importance of Sustainable Utility: Beyond the initial hype and large airdrops, the long-term survival of a memecoin, especially in bear markets, requires real development and utility, not just narratives.
The 'Lost Monkey' is not really lost, but rather found in a competitive market, trading at a value much lower than its launch peak. Its future will depend on whether it can generate real usage or remain just an anecdote of a massive airdrop and the great expectation that did not fully materialize.
