A recent phenomenon that has attracted attention in the trading community is the明显分化表现 of some early popular AI concept coins. For example, AI meme coins launched around the same time like $goat, $act, and $aixbt have now seen their market caps drop to only a few tens of millions, with ecosystem vitality severely diminished.
In contrast, projects like $pippin still maintain a high level of popularity, and the reasons behind this are worth a deeper look. According to on-chain data analysis, these highly active coins exhibit明显特征 in their holding structures: over 80% of the circulating supply is concentrated in just over 50 interconnected wallets, forming a high degree of control over the spot market.
What does this concentration of holdings imply? It indicates that the market participation of retail investors has been firmly grasped by a few large holders. Price fluctuations, liquidity provision, and even trading sentiment can be precisely controlled under the influence of these major players. For leveraged traders, the risks associated with such heavily controlled coins are obvious—without sufficient market depth as a safety cushion, any position taken in either direction could face the risk of rapid liquidation.

It's the same old trick again. Large holders controlling the market are no longer surprising, and retail investors still playing in it deserve it.
Is that the reason for $pippin's high popularity? Haha, I should have seen through it long ago.
Goat dropping to two or three million really can't hold up; those who bought early are probably bleeding heavily.
80% concentrated in 50 wallets—this is called a trading market? It's just a playground being manipulated by others.
Don't even touch coins without depth; at best, you'll get liquidated, and at worst, you'll lose everything overnight.

It's another bloody battle between the whales and retail investors. No wonder Pippin can surge so much.
Tokens controlled by whales have such shallow trading depth that it's ridiculous. Once leverage is used, liquidation is just around the corner.
80% of the circulating supply held in 50 wallets? That's clearly a setup to harvest retail investors.
Watching goat, act, and others fall from heaven to hell, I realize how disastrous choosing the wrong coin can be.
With such a poor holding structure, even the most appealing stories are just Photoshop.

ngl, 80% in 50 wallets is literally just a liquidity crisis waiting to happen... smart money already knows this game, retail's just cannon fodder at this point.

Wow, this Pippin is just a scam coin, with 80% concentrated in wallet 50? Isn't this just a blatant pump and dump?

It's all just carrying the sedan chair work, 80% of the volume is in more than fifty wallets? Isn't this just a blatant meat grinder.
Missing out on pippin but watching it be driven to death, and still have the nerve to call oneself a value investor? Laughable.
From the king's盘 to a market cap of two or three million, at this speed... how many people have leveraged players killed.
Retail investors here are just precisely bleeding out, with no market depth, there's no escape pod.
Wait, this logic doesn't add up... high热度 is actually the most dangerous? I'm thinking of reviewing my own cut-loss strategy again.
