RCADE Network down 30% a day after Binance Alpha and Bitget listings

RCADE, the native token of the Arbitrum Layer 3 gaming-focused RCADE Network, experienced a sharp price drop following its listing on major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance Alpha and Bitget.

On July 9, RCADE was officially listed on Binance Alpha, Binance’s early-access listing portal, marking the token’s TGE. It was quickly followed by spot listings on Gate.io, KuCoin, Bithumb, and Bitget. Despite the high-profile rollout, RCADE faced sharp downward pressure in the immediate aftermath.

Following its TGE, RCADE opened at an initial price of $0.0029 but declined by more than 30%, hitting an intraday low of $0.0018 on July 10. The sharp sell-off is consistent with a broader pattern seen in early-stage token launches, where airdrop recipients and early unlocks trigger short-term selling pressure.

Notably, 19.38% of RCADE’s total 40 billion token supply was designated for community initiatives, such as airdrops and incentive programs, most of which were fully unlocked at launch, increasing circulating supply and likely contributing to the immediate price drop.

Despite the initial decline, RCADE has since shown signs of recovery. As of the latest available data, the token rebounded to $0.0020, suggesting that market participants with long-term confidence in the project’s fundamentals are beginning to accumulate.

Such a recovery shows that some investors are still hopeful about the project, viewing the sell-off as a temporary market reaction rather than a reflection of the project’s long-term viability.

In contrast to RCADE’s volatile debut, Tanssi Network (TANSSI), which was also listed on Binance Alpha on the same day, managed to sustain gains of over 25% as of press time.
