During the peak of Binance’s Alpha trend, countless small-cap tokens surged as users rushed in to trade purely for farming points. Volume exploded, prices climbed rapidly, and it often looked like these projects were genuinely growing. But all of that was driven by temporary, artificial liquidity — and every artificial inflow eventually reaches its end.
When the Alpha program cools down or officially ends, this short-lived demand disappears almost instantly. Tokens that relied entirely on point-farming liquidity suddenly face a market with far fewer buyers, collapsing volume, and price corrections much deeper than most traders expect. Tokens that were listed in the Alpha category but never made it to the spot market suffer even more. Binance’s decision not to list them on spot is already a strong signal: the project may not meet listing standards, liquidity may be insufficient, or the risk may be too high for Binance to take responsibility. Without a path to spot listing, long-term capital doesn’t enter, momentum fades, and the token returns to its “real” value — often far below its Alpha-phase peak.
Not every token will be delisted, but the risk is absolutely real for those without products, without real users, or without an active team behind them. Binance keeps pairs that still maintain natural volume, yet many tokens powered solely by Alpha incentives tend to drop 40–80% once the program ends — and we’ve seen this many times before.
The safest approach for traders right now is to avoid blindly believing in tokens that survive only because of point-farming hype. Look at liquidity, real products, and whether any organic community remains after the campaign ends. If a token has no substance beyond temporary exposure in an incentive program, the smartest move is to exit before the market realizes the same thing.
This is just my personal perspective — not investment advice. But I genuinely believe that once Alpha liquidity dries up, the market will quickly reprice everything, and those who understand this dynamic early will avoid unnecessary losses.
