The Saitama Wolfpack has been breathless anticipating a Binance listing and they might well be rewarded for their patience. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao‘s cryptic tweet yesterday kicked off a frenzy on Twitter and fans are expecting an official announcement now more than ever.
In an obscure comment posted on Twitter, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao‘s mentioned SaitaVader, followed by an eyes emoticon, suggesting that his attention was indeed towards Saitama. It didn’t take long for fans to chime in on the comment, with Twitter abuzz with a possible Saitama and Binance combination.
Twitter’s search box showed that at the time of writing, 630 tweets were made including the keyword’s ‘Binance’ and ‘Saitama’. The search volume on Twitter at the time even eclipsed searches made on top DeFi tokens Cardano and Avalanche.
The discussions were led by Saitama influencer @SaitaVader, who posted “Like & retweet if you would buy a big bag of #Saitama on @binance if it was to be listed #Binance #Saitama”.
Twitter handle @SaitamaAlia said “retweet if you are pumped for #Saitama x #Binance
User @CraigMc680173 revealed that an anonymous address was triggering buy orders on SAITAMA as well, mulling, “Is it possible (#Binance) … Someone started loading up big time on Saitama, any suggestions?
This isn’t the first or even the second time Saitama fans have called for a listing on the world’s largest exchange by volume. A petition signed by the wolfpack during early January regarding the listing received over 12K signatures. Currently, the signatures stood at 18,500 and 6,500 more signatures were required for it to become a top petition on Change.org.
SAITAMA Hourly Chart
On the chart, Saitama was following a recovery path, similar to other altcoins rebounding from 24 February lows. However, volatility in the market seemed to be on the higher end. The price spiked by 19%, 25%, and 12% on 28 February, 2 March, and 3 March, respectively. These last couple of pumps were made soon after Saitama reenabled the swap function on SaitaMask after rooting out some glitches.
For the moment though, Saitama’s price was moving sideways in a risk-off broader market. However, the price may best its February peak of $0.00000001940 should its uptrend continue over the weekend.
