Binance hacker dumps obscure 2017 token, causing 90% price crash
The Binance hacker has started selling off tokens stolen from the exchange, including a little-known token from 2017 that crashed 90% in price when the hacker dumped their holdings. This token had accumulated dust for years until the hacker decided to liquidate it. The massive sell-off had no buyers ready to absorb such a large amount, causing the price to plummet. This pattern may repeat with other tokens the hacker holds, potentially causing sudden crashes in smaller cryptocurrencies. It demonstrates how a large holder selling suddenly can devastate a token's price, especially if the token has low trading volume.

This shows the risk of holding obscure tokens, especially those with low trading volume. A sudden large sale can crash the price dramatically, and beginners should be wary of investing in tokens with small communities or little trading activity.
