On July 14, Dexe, the token linked to a decentralized autonomous organization, saw its price fall nearly 10% to $41.30 after reaching an all-time high of $48.91 just a day earlier. This decline brought its market capitalization down to just under $4 billion, following a remarkable three-day rally that had boosted its value significantly since July 10, when it was priced at $25.60.
The recent surge had raised eyebrows, marking a more than 90% weekly gain. However, the abrupt pullback has led traders to question the sustainability of this rally. Comparisons are being drawn to the LAB token, which suffered a staggering 90% collapse earlier this month, reducing its market cap from over $3 billion to below $300 million. LAB's ongoing sell-off, which includes a loss of over 22% on July 14 alone, highlights underlying liquidity risks in the market.
Dexe's rapid ascent came even as other cryptocurrencies struggled. Traders are now wary, particularly because Dexe has not clarified its total maximum supply. Currently, there are 83.73 million tokens in circulation out of a total supply of 96.5 million, raising concerns that additional tokens could be minted in the future.
Despite the lack of early warning signs about Dexe, the token's growth was notable. Data from Santiment revealed a significant spike in network activity, with 161 new wallets created in one day one of the highest single-day increases recorded. Additionally, whale transactions surged, with 11 transactions exceeding $100,000, a statistic that shows the asset's growing interest among larger investors.
