$TST Plunges and Runs Away: The Blood and Tears Lessons of Retail Investors, Who is the Puppet Master Behind It? 🔥🔥
Recently, the TST crash event caused many retail investors to see their assets shrink by over 70% overnight, with some even going to zero.
What happened from hype to collapse? 👇👇
- In February 2025, TST was launched as a test token by the BNB Chain team.
At that time, the community was very enthusiastic, and many people rushed in to 'ambush,' thinking they could benefit from the official dividends. However, CZ clearly stated at the time: 'This is not an officially promoted token, the private key has already been deleted.' This statement actually laid the groundwork for future events.
- On August 7, 2025, the traders dumped and fled within 15 minutes, causing TST to plummet by over 70% in a very short time, leaving many people unable to react in time. Subsequently, public opinion began to ferment, with some blaming CZ and Binance, thinking it was a coordinated harvest.
- On August 11, 2025, the truth came to light as the community tracked down that the creation address of TST had completely liquidated, totaling only about $30,000, which completely contradicted CZ's earlier statement that 'the private key has been deleted.'
From the current information, the two most likely possibilities are:
1. CZ and Binance officials colluded for a harvest, which is very unlikely, as Binance, being a leading exchange, has no need to ruin its reputation for $30,000.
2. Internal team or employee fraud, lying to CZ, which is the most likely truth. Someone exploited Binance's trust endorsement to privately operate the token and ultimately cashed out at a high point and ran away.
If it is the second case, then this is not only fraud but also a severe blow to the entire Binance ecosystem's reputation.
Advice for Retail Investors and Fans
✅ Many projects wave the flag of 'testing' or 'experiment,' but in reality, they are just cashing in. Once you see statements like 'the private key has been deleted,' be wary.
✅ High community activity ≠ Reliable projects. Often, high activity is a tool for traders to sell their holdings.
✅ Once you notice anomalies (such as sudden crashes or official silence), decisively stop losses, do not wait for a 'rebound.'
✅ If you confirm it is fraud, it is advisable to preserve transaction records and on-chain data, and report to the platform or regulatory authorities if necessary.
