MUBARAK Dropping 40% Despite Binance Listing Could Be A Warning For Meme Coins

MUBARAK’s sharp 40% drop after its Binance listing has reignited debate around centralized exchange listing practices and the broader state of the meme coin ecosystem.

This came alongside growing scrutiny over speculative meme coin launches like JELLY, which recently triggered a short squeeze and dragged HYPE down, sparking fears of deeper structural risks.

MUBARAK Made The Community Discuss CEX Listing Processes

The steep drop in MUBARAK, now down 40% since its Binance debut, has reignited concerns about the quality of recent listings on centralized exchanges. Binance recently ended its first listing vote, with BROCCOLI and Tutorial surging.

Critics argue that these incidents undermine trust in both DeFi and CEX platforms, as meme coins continue to dominate headlines while more stable crypto sectors struggle for attention.

Still, some platforms like Pump.fun are pushing for innovation, introducing features like token burning and revenue sharing in an effort to steer meme coins toward a more sustainable future.

These concerns have only grown louder following the listing of speculative meme coins on Binance, including BNB Chain tokens like JELLY, which have added to the scrutiny.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has addressed this criticism, stating that token listings should not dictate long-term price action.

While listings can offer liquidity and improve market access, CZ emphasized that any price impact should be short-term. In the long run, token value should reflect real fundamentals—such as team commitment, development activity, and network performance.

Still, even as the community pushes for more transparency, Binance Alpha has continued to list controversial tokens, including two Studio Ghibli-themed meme coins.

Hyperliquid Crisis Made Users Question Meme Coins

MUBARAK’s drop was not the only crisis in the meme coin ecosystem this week. HYPE experienced a sharp decline following the JELLY short squeeze, triggering widespread speculation about the role of Hyperliquid and meme coins in the crypto ecosystem.

Some users have even questioned if this could be the beginning of an FTX-style collapse as concerns grow over the unchecked volatility tied to meme coin derivatives.

The JELLY controversy has ignited debate around the fragility of emerging platforms and whether enough safeguards are in place to prevent systemic fallout from meme-driven market events. In response to the backlash, Hyperliquid announced it would strengthen its security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Jean Rausis, co-founder of the decentralized finance ecosystem SMARDEX, told BeInCrypto that the DeFi ecosystem needs to think about the image it sends to the market:

“If we want DeFi to be adopted, the ecosystem needs to gain trust not only with its existing users but also in terms of the image it presents in the news. And it’s clear that with projects wrongly labelling themselves as “decentralized”, more incidents like this will happen.”

Sectors Like RWA Could Help To Grow Crypto Credibility

Kevin Rusher, founder of decentralized lending protocol RAAC, described the situation as a major blow to DeFi’s credibility. “This is another setback for DeFi adoption, but it’s not a surprise,” he said, noting that meme coins have reignited retail greed and diverted liquidity away from more sustainable sectors of the ecosystem.

He warned that tokens like TRUMP and MELANIA had captured too much mindshare during the last market surge, leaving DeFi vulnerable to speculative chaos.

Still, Rusher pointed to the growing involvement of institutions like BlackRock as a sign of hope:

“But it looks like institutions and big players like BlackRock also understand this need for stability in crypto, which is why they are now seriously focused on the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs). The unfortunate reality is that memecoins are likely here to stay, and they will be a real obstacle for DeFi growth in the short term. However, with RWAs bringing huge liquidity into the system from traditional finance, this sector will finally have the opportunity to grow without memecoin frenzies putting the whole ecosystem in danger.” – Rusher told BeInCrypto.

More Innovation Could Bring Renewed Interest In Meme Coins

In a recent conversation with Bankless, PumpFun co-founder Alon Cohen shared insights about the meme coins market, highlighting PumpFun’s 4Chan-inspired aesthetic, bonding curve pricing model, and new creator-focused initiatives.

Pump.fun has generated over 8.8 million tokens and once peaked with a record $14 million in daily revenue, totaling $600 million since launch.

Alon emphasized that while the meme coin market is cooling—down nearly 49% from its $125 billion peak in December 2024—Pump.fun remains committed to supporting creative and community-driven projects.

To boost long-term sustainability, the team is now introducing revenue-sharing mechanisms for token creators, a transparent fee structure, and token-burning features to reduce the extractive nature of meme coin launches.

With new mechanisms like this, more buyers could come in, and a new generation of meme coin traders could emerge as the ecosystem tries to become more sustainable.

Senators press regulators on Trump’s WLFI stablecoin

Cointelegraph

Velodrome Finance / Tether

Five Democratic lawmakers in the US Senate have called on leadership at regulatory agencies to consider the potential conflicts of interest from a stablecoin launched by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto firm backed by US President Donald Trump’s family.

In a March 28 letter from the US Senate Banking Committee, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and four other Democrats asked the Federal Reserve’s committee chair on supervision and regulation, Michelle Bowman, and acting comptroller of the currency, Rodney Hood, how they intended to regulate WLFI and its stablecoin, USD1.

Government, Congress, Donald Trump, Stablecoin

The letter came as members of Congress are considering legislation to regulate stablecoins through the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act. The bill, if signed into law, would essentially allow the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Reserve to oversee stablecoin regulation, including for issuers like WLFI and its USD1 coin.

Trump also signed an executive order in February attempting to have all federal agencies — purportedly including the OCC — “regularly consult with and coordinate policies and priorities” with White House officials, giving the US president unprecedented control.

“President Trump’s involvement in this venture, as he strips financial regulators of their independence and Congress simultaneously considers stablecoin legislation, presents an extraordinary conflict of interest that could create unprecedented risks to our financial system and to the integrity of decisions made by the [Fed and OCC],” said the letter, adding:

“The launch of a stablecoin directly tied to a sitting President who stands to benefit financially from the stablecoin’s success presents unprecedented risks to our financial system.”

Since World Liberty launched in September 2024 — months before the US election and Trump’s inauguration — many of the firm’s goals have been shrouded in secrecy. The project’s website notes that Trump and some of his family members control 60% of the company’s equity interests.

As of March 14, World Liberty had completed two public token sales, netting the company a combined $550 million. On March 24, the project confirmed launching its first stablecoin on the BNB Chain and Ethereum. The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., also pitched USD1 from the DC Blockchain Summit on March 26 with three of WLFI’s co-founders.

Bitcoin price falls toward range lows, but data shows ‘whales going wild right now’

Cointelegraph

Velodrome Finance / Tether

Bitcoin price extended its decline on March 28, falling for a fourth consecutive day to paint an intra-day low of $83,387. BTC’s (BTC) decline mirrored the Wall Street sell-off, where the DOW closed 700 points lower, alongside the S&P 500 index, which dropped 112 points.

The sell-off in equities is widely attributed to investors increasing worries over inflation after the core Personal Consumption Expenditures index data from February rose to 2.8% (a 0.4% monthly increase), which was higher than expected.

Cryptocurrencies, Federal Reserve, Bitcoin Price, Markets, Stocks, Inflation, White House, Donald Trump, Market Update

The sell-off was further amplified by the markets’ response to US President Trump’s newly levied “reciprocal tariffs,” which applied a 25% tariff to “all cars that are not made in the United States.”

The chances for a Bitcoin relief rally or oversold bounce are likely diminishing as traders cautiously keep an eye on April 2, the day Trump has labeled “Liberation Day,” where additional tariffs, including “pharmaceutical tariffs,” are expected to be unveiled.

Bitcoin price to fall to $65K?

According to veteran trader Peter Brandt, Bitcoin could be on the path to $65,635.

In an X social post, Brandt confirmed the completion of a “bear wedge” pattern and said,

“Don’t shoot the messenger. Just reporting on what the chart says until it says something different. Bear wedge completed with 2X target from the double top at $65,635.”

Crypto trader ‘HTL-NL’ agreed with Brandt, suggesting that Bitcoin’s failure in “breaking the ice” of a long-term descending trendline and the confirmation of the bear wedge are proof that BTC is destined to revisit its range lows.

From a purely technical point of view, it’s difficult to project a swift reversal in Bitcoin’s price action as many of its daily timeframe metrics are not oversold. Despite the absence of strong spot market demand in the current price zone, crypto trader Cole Garner says that “whales are going wild right now.”

According to Garner, the Bitfinex spot BTC margin longs to margin shorts metric just fired a powerful signal which shows historical returns of 50%+ returns “within 50 days.”

Beyond the day-to-day price fluctuations, positive crypto industry developments continue to occur on the regulatory front.

On March 28, White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks commended the FDIC and its Acting Chairman Travis Hill for clarifying the “process for banks to engage in crypto-related activities.”

Essentially, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s letter to institutions under its oversight provided clear guidance on their ability to engage in and provide crypto-related products and services without needing to notify the FDIC first.
