#ALPHACOINS

There’s a growing pattern that’s hard to ignore: many coins that first appear under the “Binance Alpha” banner end up being short-term hype machines — pumped quickly, then dumped just as fast. Retail investors often find themselves buying the top, only to watch their portfolio bleed while early insiders and developers quietly cash out.

While Binance markets the “Alpha” section as a place to discover promising new projects early, the reality for many traders feels more like a trap than an opportunity. These coins tend to debut with buzz, get massive attention from influencers and Telegram groups, and then — once the liquidity floods in — the price crashes, leaving everyday investors holding the bag.

Who benefits? The developers, early backers, and sometimes even the exchanges, who get trading volume and fees while retail is left with losses. It's a classic "buy the rumor, sell the news" play — only this time, the rumor is manufactured and the news is the listing itself.

Of course, not every Alpha coin ends up a rug or a cash grab. But the frequency of these pump-and-dump patterns raises questions. Are these listings being vetted for long-term value, or simply hyped up for short-term profit?

Retail traders need to stay cautious. Hype does not equal value, and Alpha does not always mean opportunity — sometimes it just means you’re early… to someone else’s exit😜.
