In just weeks, three tokens— $OM, $LAYER, and $ALPACA—have given traders a wild ride: one surged over 2000%, one collapsed 90%, and another dropped 40% just days before a major unlock. The volatility is real—and here's what actually happened.

$OM ( #mantra ) took the hardest hit, reportedly crashing 90% as over $200 million worth of tokens were sent to exchanges, sparking fears of a coordinated dump. The disappearance of the project's Telegram group only made things worse, fueling rumors of manipulation and shaking market trust.

$LAYER ( #Solayer ), after hitting a new all-time high of $3.4, plunged over 40% just five days before a scheduled unlock of 46 million tokens. The sudden drop, paired with massive token transfers to Binance, sparked suspicions of whale exits or insider dumping—though no direct proof has surfaced.

Then there's #ALPACA — After Binance announced its delisting, the token unexpectedly exploded by 2000%, driven by speculation and a possible short squeeze. But the pump didn’t last—sharp crashes of up to 80% followed, reminding everyone how quickly momentum can vanish.

All three cases highlight just how unpredictable crypto can be. From rug-pull rumors to unlock pressure and surprise rallies, the only certainty is volatility.
