A well-known market maker, Wintermute, seems to be taking a substantial interest in the $MUBARAK token, the latest meme coin to take BSC by storm.
Data shows that just five days ago, on March 19, Wintermute began trading $MUBARAK, and has since been heavily interfacing with decentralized exchange PancakeSwap. Speculation among crypto commentators suggests Wintermute could be angling to be the market maker for $MUBARAK.
Widely esteemed in the crypto world for being a market maker and a provider of liquidity, Wintermute has already accumulated a substantial amount of $MUBARAK tokens. Over the last few days, Wintermute has withdrawn a total of 6.04 million $MUBARAK tokens from Gate.io, a clear and impressive show of investment in the token. Valued at the current prices, these tokens represent an investment of around $740,000. And now, with the 7.688 million $MUBARAK tokens also in its possession, Wintermute’s total in $MUBARAK tokens comes to a value of around $966,000.
Several reasons make Wintermute’s active participation in the $MUBARAK market noticeable. The market maker recently started trading the token, on March 19, and that pretty much says it all when it comes to their motivations. This isn’t a meme project that’s likely to enjoy a future of wildly gyrating price action. If anything, I’d expect the price of $MUBARAK to remain pretty flat, unless it gets used in ways that the team behind it hasn’t yet disclosed.
Price fluctuations in meme coins, like $MUBARAK, are driven by social media hysteria, community engagement, and quite a lot of market manipulation. They’re frequent, they’re big, and they’re often not connected to anything remotely resembling a business or a fundamental asset. For market makers, like Wintermute, that are involved in providing the tokens (and the markets around them) with some liquidity and price stability, the meme coin madness poses a very nice opportunity indeed. And, Wintermute’s apparent involvement in $MUBARAK seems very much like a cover story for a meme market-making scheme.
As of the most recent news, Wintermute’s wallet contains a stunning 7.688 million $MUBARAK tokens, worth nearly $1 million. This puts them in an impressive position, from which they probably are providing not only liquidity to $MUBARAK on exchanges but also are making a bet on the future price of $MUBARAK in the BSC ecosystem. Given that $MUBARAK’s market presence is further confirmed each day that it isn’t zero, this move further raises the profile of $MUBARAK as an investment you might make in the meme coin sector.
Wintermute does not just influence $MUBARAK; it also controls a wallet that holds a not insignificant amount of other crypto, including some well-known tokens from the BSC ecosystem. Wintermute’s wallet, alongside its $MUBARAK, holds:
– 164 billion $BABYDOGE, valued at approximately $222,700. $BABYDOGE is a highly valued meme token that has gained a lot of traction and visibility.
– 18.82 billion $CAT, about $146,000. The $CAT token is another BSC-based coin that has caught the fancy of investors in the meme coin space.
– 4.549 million $TUT, valued at around $119,000. The $TUT token is a relatively new DeFi (decentralized finance) coin that has started to gain momentum.
These holdings suggest that Wintermute is scattering its investments across several prominent BSC-based meme tokens, bolstering its strategy of supplying liquidity across a range of assets in the BSC ecosystem. The fact that Wintermute holds such large quantities of these tokens indicates that the firm is looking to influence several projects, potentially giving it the reach to shape the direction and growth of these tokens by acting as a market maker.
As the market maker for $MUBARAK, Wintermute is a firm to watch when considering the future of this meme token and other coins based on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It is a company that doesn’t just helm but is also very much involved in the overall meme space—a space that, judging by the recent token launches and their ensuing price surges, seems to have a bright future within the broader cryptocurrency market.
It remains uncertain whether Wintermute’s deep involvement in $MUBARAK and other meme tokens will lead to long-term success, but it definitely showcases the ability of market-making firms to sway new projects. For the moment, Wintermute’s supplying of liquidity and market help for the meme coin $MUBARAK makes it seem like a really important player in the BSC ecosystem. If $MUBARAK proves to be anything other than a joke, Wintermute will play a big, almost unseen, role in making it liquid. If it does turn out to be a joke, then we get to learn the lesson that the meme coin ecosystem is inappropriate for serious investment.
