$TROLL
 all this time and they listed a coin that was sitting at $3M market cap last week. 

It's litterally a generational meme like 
$SHIB
 or 
$PEPE
 

Criminal on the part of Binance."

ape's got the momentum right now (+39% 30d, new marketplace activity), imx is solid infrastructure play but 24.52M unlock hits today, ilv has strong revenue ($2M+ overworld, $10M+ beyond) but smaller cap and less liquidity"
