#POND 🚨
$POND : Between the hammer of delisting and the anvil of technology
Can Marlin Protocol (
$POND ) withstand the pressure of Binance, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end for the token? Let's understand the situation as of the end of May 2026.
⚖️ The main conflict:
Binance added POND to the Monitoring Tag list (April 30, 2026), which officially puts the project at risk of exclusion. This is a "yellow card" from the world's largest exchange, which directly indicates problems with liquidity and activity.
📉 Why is it dangerous?
Price pressure: The "Monitoring" tag is a signal for many traders to "exit", which increases volatility and fear.
Barrier for beginners: Mandatory quizzes every 90 days repel casual investors and reduce trading volumes.
🚀 But is there hope? (Technology Front)
While the market panics, the Marlin team continues to “build”:
TEE infrastructure: Active implementation of confidential calculations (Trusted Execution Environment) is becoming critical for AI solutions in Web3.
Integration with Sui: Work on the key management service and other cross-chain services shows that the protocol has real engineering value, and not just speculative interest.
High power: Over 20 thousand virtual CPUs already working for the network are not just words, but a working product.
🔍 Verdict: Will the “technology” be enough to compensate for the “risks”?
As of now, Marlin’s fundamental success directly contradicts the exchange metrics.
If Marlin proves its irreplaceability in the field of AI downloads, Binance may remove the tag (as it has done with other successful projects).
If the community and developer activity remains on paper, the risk of delisting will become a reality.
My view:
$POND is a high-risk game right now. The token's survival depends not on marketing, but on how many real developers will use the Marlin infrastructure in the next 3 months.
