Brian Armstrong and his Coinbase exchange have egg on their faces this morning as DAR crypto and LIT coin have both skyrocketed after being de-listed from the prominent crypto exchange.

In the past 24 hours, Mines of Dalarnia (DAR) is up over 400% while Litentry (LIT) is up roughly 60%. This follows a recent trend of tokens being removed from big exchanges and mooning in response. Another recent example is ALPACA, which saw a 30-fold increase following news of its delisting from Binance.

What Is DAR Crypto: Mines of Dalarnia Blasts 500% Overnight

DAR crypto is the native token for Mines of Dalarnia, a play-to-earn game on the BNB Smart Chain. It has been around since November 2021, and its game is fully playable via download from its website.

It is a mining-style game that uses DAR as in-game currency, but in its 3.5 years since launch, the concept has failed to fully take off. At launch in 2021, DAR crypto spiked to just above $4, but ever since, it has been in a state of free fall.

Prior to this Coinbase delisting pump, Mines of Dalarnia was down 99% from those highs; however, today’s rally has reduced it to -94% from its all-time high.

Market Cap

The three-year downtrend for DAR was mainly due to its inflationary nature, with more and more tokens continuously being put into circulation for the play-to-earn aspect of the game.

Following the news of its de-listing from Coinbase, DAR crypto has rocketed more than 400% overnight, generating a huge amount of trading activity. The 24-hour trading volume for DAR sits at $61 million, with $58 million of that coming from Coinbase just before it was removed from the exchange.

The news of its delisting came 12 days ago on May 3, however the actual date for the removal of DAR crypto is tomorrow (May 16). Similar to ALPACA mooning after news of it being removed from Binance, Mines of Dalarnia continues this recent trend.

DAR crypto is trading for around $0.36 after briefly hitting $0.5 before cooling down. It will be interesting to see if it continues to rise in price over the next 36 hours before it is due to be removed from Coinbase.

DAR crypto and LIT coin have surged 500% and 73%, respectively, since de-listing from Coinbase. MIND of Pepe hits $9.2m in presale funding

LIT (Litentry) Coin: Decentralized Digital Identification Project

Litentry is a web3 project focused on decentralized, cross-chain digital identification and has been around since February 2021. It saw many ups and downs throughout 2021, going from $3 to $12 before January 2022 saw it drop below $2, a level it hasn’t recovered from in the 3 years since.

Built on the Ethereum network, LIT coin has struggled to gain a foothold in the Web3 digital identification space, especially since Sam Altman’s Worldcoin (WLD) came along in mid-2023. With Altman’s backing and rollout of eye-scanning orbs around the globe, LIT has been left in the dust.

However, similar to DAR, it was announced on May 2 that LIT was also being delisted from Coinbase. With that delisting date coming tomorrow, LIT surged just under 200% from $0.35 to $0.96 before cooling down to $0.60.

It has seen a massive spike in volume across multiple exchanges, with Coinbase accounting for most of its $61 million daily trading volume.

In a post-coinbase world, LIT will still be available on Kraken and decentralized exchanges Uniswap and Pancakeswap. With around 36 hours until the delisting, it will be worth monitoring the price action throughout the rest of today.

Expect volatile price action for LIT coin as whales and market makers continue to play with the chart.

Why Are These Coins Being Delisted From Coinbase?

There is a common factor with these Coinbase delistings: LIT and DAR crypto have both migrated to new contracts, with LIT rebranding to Heima (HEI) and DAR changing from Mines Of Dalarnia to Dar Open Network (D).

With the old contracts winding down, it comes as no surprise that Coinbase is removing the tokens from its exchange. Coinbase is receiving similar accusations that came Binance’s way with the ALPACA delisting.

Those accusations are that its market makers are manipulating these tokens about to be removed, with substantial price swings on seemingly dead tokens.

The difference between these Coinbase tokens and ALPACA on Binance is that DAR and LIT have no future due to the project’s contract migrations. In contrast, ALPACA is still a functioning DeFi project with over $50m in Total-Value Locked (TVL).
