How $ALPACA pumped 10x after Binance delisting — full breakdown

Could this start a new trend of "delisting pumps"? 👇

Normally, low-cap tokens are easy to pump — but hard to exit.

No liquidity = no one to dump on.

So how do whales exit without getting rekt?

➡️ perpetual futures + high open interest.

Otherwise, even whales can't build enough positions at the bottom or exit at the top.

Then came the Alpaca moment:

- Binance announced delisting

- Traders piled into shorts

- Open interest exploded

⚡️ Perfect setup for the whales:

- Build massive long positions at the bottom

- Aggressively pump spot

- Trigger liquidations

- Earn 2% funding fees per hour

= Printing money while crushing shorts

And here's the real kicker: Binance auto-closes all positions on delisting.

Whales don't need to worry about exit liquidity anymore.

Just push the price high enough, sit back, and let forced liquidation do the rest.

⚠️ Risk?

If Binance changes the rules (e.g., postpones delisting, adjusts closing price), whales could get rugged too.

But unless that happens, shorts are simply walking into a meat grinder.
