Ronin, the gaming blockchain developed by Sky Mavis, the creator of Axie Infinity, has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the performance of its token (RON), despite facing initial turbulence during its listing on the popular crypto exchange Binance. 🎮💰

On February 5, Ronin token prices experienced significant volatility, plummeting over 40% to $2.52 after a notable 28% increase the previous week. But fear not, dear readers, for at the time of reporting, RON is trading at $2.63, showcasing a steady recovery. 📈📉

Ronin Faces Market Challenges Amidst Price Volatility and Declining Market Cap

Since October 2023, Ronin has experienced a steep rise in prices, reaching a high of $3.34 on February 4, 2024, just below its all-time high of $3.61. However, there has been a recent decline, with the $3.50 mark confirming itself as a resistance level. 📉🔒

But here’s the twist: Despite the dip in market cap below the $1 billion mark, currently at $746.26 million, Ronin’s social activity around the asset has surged by 254% in the past 24 hours. It seems like the power of the gaming community is not to be underestimated! 🚀🎮💪

Larsen, a prominent figure in the blockchain space, has attributed the sluggish growth in Ronin’s total value locked (TVL) to the aftermath of the 2022 heist, where North Korean hackers exploited the Ronin Bridge in a jaw-dropping $600 million attack. This, combined with the general decline in cryptocurrency prices, caused Ronin’s TVL to decrease from nearly $1.5 billion to under $50 million by the end of 2022. 😱💰

But don’t fret, dear readers, as the TVL currently stands at $156 million, with the Katana decentralized exchange contributing over 99% of the locked funds. Larsen himself has stated that competing for TVL with DeFi chains is not a priority for Ronin. Phew! 😅🔒

Binance Tightens Listing Plans and Offers Bounty

Following Ronin’s listing on Binance, the token experienced a sharp decline of 40%, igniting concerns of insider trading within the crypto community. But wait, there’s more!

Before the official announcement by Binance, astute users had speculated about the listing after observing token aggregation data on public blockchains. However, the announcement led to a massive sell-off as insider accumulation of RON tokens and subsequent swift sell-offs drove prices down. 🤔💸

An investigation revealed a concerning combination of token accumulation on blockchain scanners and leaked communications from within Binance, pointing towards insider trading activity. This illicit trading resulted in a rapid decline in price. Not cool, Binance! 🕵️‍♂️🤫

But fear not, dear readers, for change is on the horizon! Yi He, the co-founder and spouse of former CEO Changpeng Zhao, has addressed the situation by announcing stricter internal controls to prevent information leaks and ensure fairness in the listing process. She emphasized that leaks would result in listing cancellations or delays and vowed to tighten the management of new token listings to ensure fairness and integrity. 💪✨

Yi He also promised to strengthen the monitoring of scripts and welcomed information on crypto security vulnerabilities and staff leaks. In fact, she even announced that people who provide successful tip-offs will receive a bounty of between $10,000 and $5 million. That’s one way to get the community involved! 🕵️‍♀️🔒💰
