GoPlus Security: The information leak regarding token listing is "not true," and an internal investigation is underway regarding the token's price drop

ChainCatcher news, GoPlus Security posted on platform X: "First, GoPlus has established a special investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the abnormal price fluctuations. Binance has also provided additional support to assist in investigating the cause of the incident. Firstly, in response to community feedback claiming that a leaker disclosed the listing information in advance and suspecting that this person is a member of the GoPlus team or a community administrator, GoPlus immediately initiated an internal investigation. The investigation results show that this situation is not true. The GoPlus team did not have prior knowledge of the March 4th GPS listing plan. Everything happened very suddenly; our team only learned about the listing news after the announcement was made and immediately collaborated with Binance to meet any additional requests from our side. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the individuals spreading various rumors are unrelated to the parties involved and they had no way to obtain internal information about the listing through official internal channels.On the day of the listing, GoPlus transferred a total of 500 million GPS tokens to Binance. Of these, 300 million GPS tokens have been distributed as rewards for the BNB HODLer program, and the remaining 200 million tokens will be used for future marketing activities. For transparency, Binance has transferred the remaining 200 million GPS tokens to a public wallet address. Regarding the situation where the GPS price plummeted by 50% within 24 hours, GoPlus is conducting internal investigations with multiple partners and will provide users with a comprehensive explanation of our investigation results."

Kaiko: The wave of liquidations in February has reduced the leverage of altcoins, potentially paving the way for a more sustained upward trend in the future

ChainCatcher news, according to a research report by Kaiko, the market slump in February triggered several waves of liquidations, significantly reducing the leverage levels of the top ten altcoins. Analysts believe that this position reset has created a healthier foundation for the cryptocurrency market, potentially paving the way for a more sustained upward trend in the coming weeks.The report notes that with the U.S. announcing the establishment of a strategic cryptocurrency reserve plan, although Bitcoin's reaction was relatively muted, overall market volatility surged, especially among altcoins. The intra-day volatility, which had been below 200% since the tariff sell-off in February, skyrocketed after the announcement, with ADA's volatility breaking 600%, marking the largest increase among major altcoins.Kaiko's analysis indicates that the inclusion of specific altcoins in the U.S. strategic reserve may accelerate the rotation of capital among altcoins, reinforcing the trend of concentrated gains in altcoins. Since last November, trading activity on U.S. exchanges has increasingly been dominated by large-cap assets. A year ago, the top ten altcoins accounted for 58% of altcoin trading volume on U.S. platforms, and 50% on offshore exchanges; as of last week, these shares have risen to 77% and 66%, respectively.
