OM Coin’s Token Burn—Genuine Revival or Flash in the Pan?
Summary
OM Coin’s leadership has burned 150 million tokens (with talks to burn another 150 million) to tighten supply and “rebuild trust.” Yet after a 90 % flash crash, holders wonder if scarcity alone can revive a project beset by poor execution and fading confidence.
Background
On April 10, 2025, OM Coin plunged over 90 % in hours—erasing roughly $5.4 billion in market value—amid a cascade of forced liquidations on exchanges Web3.
In response, CEO John Patrick Mullin began burning his 150 million‑token allocation on April 21, completing the unstaking by April 29 and removing them permanently from supply
Mantra’s team is also in talks to burn an additional 150 million OM—about 16.5 % of total supply—to amplify the scarcity effect
Investor Concerns
Despite the burn, OM’s price slipped another 3.3 % on the announcement day, signaling lingering skepticism
On‑chain “IOMAP” data shows a major sell‑wall around $0.48, suggesting many holders will offload at breakeven, risking renewed downward pressure
Critics note that token burns don’t create real utility, and without a transparent roadmap or product updates, gains may be fleeting
Analysts argue that sustained recovery hinges on revived developer activity, clearer use‑cases funded by the $109 million ecosystem grant, and stronger liquidity incentives—beyond one‑off burns
Without team accountability, improved communication, and meaningful on‑chain utility, many believe this burn is a temporary salve rather than a cure for lost faith and capital
