Noticed something worth discussing: average centered holdings on new trading pairs are way too concentrated. When fresh pairs launch, the distribution of tokens tends to cluster heavily among a small number of holders rather than spreading across a wider base. This creates liquidity imbalances and affects price stability for retail traders trying to participate. It's a structural issue that deserves more attention when evaluating new pair quality on trading venues.

It's the same story again... New coin issuances are always locked by big players, and retail investors just get chopped up like leeks.

The concentration issue when new coins go live is really outrageous; retail investors just get liquidated when they enter.

It's the same old story. As soon as a new coin launches, it behaves like this, and retail investors are still waiting foolishly. The whales have already set the trap. Buy the dip, everyone. There will always be a lower point.

New projects are always locked by a few big players, retail investors just become cannon fodder... Isn't this just the typical way to harvest retail investors?

New coins are dominated by the big players as soon as they launch; retail investors have no chance... I've seen through this trick a long time ago.

New tokens are immediately exploited by big investors upon launch, leaving retail investors no chance... I'm already tired of this trick. With such high liquidity concentration, manipulating the market by pumping and dumping is just a matter of minutes.

I'm already tired of the concentration issue with new currency pairs; it's always the same trick of the internal market manipulators harvesting small investors.
