MemeCore's M Token Crashes 80% Wiping Out $3B, No Exploit Found
MemeCore's M token plunged approximately 74% in 24 hours, falling from around $2.92 to about $0.74, wiping out nearly $3 billion in market value. The crash occurred on thin trading volume of roughly $21 million, with no confirmed exploit, hack, or announcement to explain the sudden sell-off. On-chain investigator ZachXBT had previously alleged in April that insiders manipulated M's price and that the token's market cap was artificially inflated to $6 billion. He pointed to suspicious Kraken withdrawals and concentrated insider ownership. MemeCore did not respond to requests for comment. The collapse highlights the fragility of tokens with heavy insider supply, limited exchange listings, and reliance on paid promotional campaigns, where real liquidity is insufficient to absorb selling pressure.
