This Airdrop Left Traders Stunned 😂: You Won’t Believe What Happened to GPS Tokens!

Picture this: a token named GPS, turning financial heads faster than a cat meme goes viral. With a dramatic flair worthy of a soap opera, GPS – the GoPlus Security native token – saw its grand moment as Binance got ready to fan the flames of its excitement with an airdrop before even listing it. Naturally, drama ensued. 📈

On March 4, Binance, with the giddiness of someone handing out free snacks at a party, announced it will rain GoPlus Security tokens on its loyal BNB (BNB) holders just one hour before the token’s curtain call on the exchange platform. “Trade it from March 4 at 13:00 UTC!” declared Binance, possibly with a twinkle in the eye. GPS will be flaunted in USDT (USDT), USDC (USDC), BNB, FDUSD (FDUSD), and TRY pairs like a token with something to prove. 🎊

But hold on! Only BNB users who had subscribed to the ever-luxurious Simple Earn and/or On-Chain Yields products between Feb. 19 and Feb. 24 made it into the exclusive club receiving the tokens. Some missed the boat. Others? Laughing their way to… well, not the bank, but to the ~moon~ wallet.

What followed was no less theatrical. GPS surged as high as 15%, hitting the dizzying heights of $0.16 (high for a token, okay?), propelled by Binance’s announcement. CoinGecko tapped it out on its calculator and confirmed the spike. February hadn’t seen such excitement from GPS, and February was probably feeling extremely bitter about it. 😂

Currently, despite a slight tempering of emotions, the token still grins smugly with an 11% rise at $0.14. Meanwhile, the past month? A downer, with GPS sulking its way to a 16% decline – proving that even tokens get moody sometimes. 😅

The numbers don’t lie. GoPlus’ pride and joy has a market cap cresting over $264 million and a fully diluted valuation of $1.4 billion. The Binance listing, as expected, poured turbo fuel on its trading volume, shooting it up by a jaw-dropping 410% to a pretty $35 million in the past 24 hours. Applause erupted. 🎉

In a very parental move, Binance will stick a seed tag on GPS because, hey, new projects need to come with a friendly “Caution: May Cause Volatility” sign. It’s the wild west out there, folks. GPS trading will roll out on the Base (BASE) network, a platform that sounds like it also moonlights as a DJ. 🎧

For those who still have no clue what GoPlus Security is (don’t worry, you’re not alone), it’s a web3 encrypted security project. Think of it like a nerdy superhero, auditing tokens in real-time and offering decentralized data services. Its token, GPS, is basically the cool kid in the neighborhood you wish you had invested in earlier. You stake it, safeguard the network, or provide security data, and boom – you’re the hero of this web3 story. 🦸‍♂️

And because irony is a dish served on blockchain, the day before Binance’s GPS hype-fest, former Binance chief Changpeng “CZ” Zhao shared a GoPlus Security post. The message? A warning about the “serious security risks” of trading Ronaldinho’s freshly baked STAR10 token on the Binance Smart Chain. Turns out even soccer stars can’t always kick a winning goal in crypto. ⚽🚩
