The Truth About $ALPACA – Stop Blaming Exchanges!

I’ve been warning everyone for a while now about the risks of trading $ALPACA, especially with its high funding fees. But I’m seeing a lot of people pointing fingers at Binance and other exchanges, accusing them of manipulating the token’s price. So let me set the record straight.

$ALPACA wasn’t manipulated by Binance or any exchange.

What actually happened was a classic case of traders over-leveraging.

When $ALPACA dropped to around $0.067, a huge number of traders started shorting it aggressively across multiple platforms—Bybit (16.67x), MEXC (20x), Binance (5x), and more. But instead of continuing down, the token bounced hard off the bottom, liquidating those high-leverage shorts and sparking a massive short squeeze.

That bounce triggered a chain reaction, pushing the price up all the way to $1.4+. Then, as futures markets closed on major exchanges, the token quickly dumped from $1.3 to $0.6—and it’s still in decline.

So please, stop blaming exchanges for something that was purely driven by market mechanics and trader behavior.

This is a reminder: Always manage your risk. Don’t let FOMO cloud your judgment. And understand how leverage and funding fees work before jumping in.
