The announcement of Binance follows denunciations on suspicious behavior observed during the listing of the BOME token. On March 15, 2024, an investor spent $2.3 million to buy 314 million BOME tokens. The average price per token was $0.0074 at the time of purchase. One day later, Binance listed the BOME token on its platform. The price thus rose from $0.0074 to $0.026, enabling the investor to cash in nearly $5.8 million in 24 hours.

Insider trading at Binance or winning investment?

The purchase of 314 million of BOME shortly before its listing on Binance has caused a stir in the crypto community. Indeed, some Internet users consider that the person who made the purchase knew that Binance would list the token on its platform the following day, which would constitute insider trading. Some have even suggest that it could be an agent of Binance.

Other Internet users, on the other hand, believe that the investor was just lucky enough to buy the BOME token a day before it was listed on Binance. The exchange claims that the preliminary findings of its internal investigation reveal that the investor in question is not affiliated with Binance.

The investment of 2.3 million in BOME shortly before its listing on Binance legitimately arouses suspicion. Binance’s commitment to further in-depth investigations into this incident is honorable. It’s important to ensure transparency and fairness in the crypto market. This is even more important for Binance, whose business practices have been decried in Nigeria and in the US, to name but a few.
