Binance MANTRA DAO (OM) Launch Receives Negative Reactions
Binance’s listing of a fraud project, OM, has left the Chinese community surprised and they’re now questioning the kind of research work Binance undertakes. Colin Wu tweeted saying,
“Binance stated that the Binance Listing Committee has more than 5 people and will do a lot of research reports to determine whether it will pass. However, Chinese community are surprised by Binance’s listed fraud project OM and question whether it has done enough research work. There are some opinions in the Chinese community that as long as you agree to use Binance Smart Chain or Polkadot, Binance will significantly lower the listing standards, and some fraudulent projects will appear. Especially the Polkadot chain is full of fraud projects from China.”
He further added that the Chinese community believes that Binance will significantly lower listing standards as long as you agree to use Binance Smart Chain or Polkadot and, due to this, be a host to many fraud projects. Polkadot chain is reputed for having a plethora of fraud projects from China.
The Recent Meerkat Rug-Pull Only Adds To Binance’s Woes
Users have been questioning Binance’s due diligence process, especially after last week’s Meerkat (MKAT)’s fiasco. Meerkat Finance was accused of a rug-pull with the largest fraud in Defi History a day after their launch on the mainnet. The team announced that they were hacked with a loss accounting for $31 million.
Suspicions of the exit scam came to light when on-chain data showed that the supposed hacker(s) cleaned the vault altering MKAT deployer’s account, suggesting that either this was self-directed by the project or the deployer’s private key was compromised.
