🔎 Why are exchange tokens rising right now (OKB, BNB, HTX, MNT, etc.)?

💥 While the market is correcting, exchange coins look bullish:

• OKB → +165% over the month

• MNT → +71%

• HTX → +23%

• CRO → +21%

And this is not a coincidence. Here’s what’s behind it:

1️⃣ Exchanges see internal metrics

They have access to user inflows, OTC volumes, and internal liquidity. If they start picking up tokens – it means they expect a revival.

2️⃣ Preparation for products and listings

Before launching a launchpad / new IEOs, exchanges traditionally pump their tokens to make them a “pass” to future activities.

3️⃣ Competition for attention

Against the backdrop of BTC's dominance decline, exchanges start to pull liquidity towards themselves. Token growth is the best marketing: “they have something going on → need to get in”.

4️⃣ A hint at alt-season

Exchange tokens almost always rise first when the market comes out of the “only BTC” phase → a shift begins to altcoins.

🙃 In short: exchanges are not just creating a stir – they are slowly betting on their own bull-run.
