Alpaca Finance Defies Gravity: $ALPACA Surges 111% Despite Binance Delisting

In a surprising turn that has drawn the gaze of investors in cryptocurrency and the markets, the token of Alpaca Finance — $ALPACA — has staged a dramatic return. The price of the token is up over 111% — despite being on the verge of getting cut from the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. The price rally comes following a near 20% slide right after the token was announced to be delisting — and it is a perfect example of the weirdness and resiliency often seen in the digital asset space. From Panic to Power: $ALPACA’s Wild Ride On April 24, 2025, Binance declared it would remove from its platform four particular tokens: Alpaca Finance ($ALPACA), PlayDapp ($PDA), Viberate ($VIB), and Wing Finance ($WING). Their removal was set for May 2. As usually happens when a token gets removed from the exchange, $ALPACA experienced an immediate and sharp reduction in price, plunging downward by 20% just within the first few hours after the announcement. Investors appeared to rush for the doors, liquidating what few holdings in the token that they had left. What came next took many by surprise. In less than a single hour, $ALPACA not only recouped earlier losses but also shot into a parabolic climb, gaining over 110%. Latest pricing data puts our token at approximately $0.0394, with a fully diluted market cap of some $10.9 million and a 24-hour trading volume of something over $79 million. $ALPACA moving like this is an example of two things. One, valuation and pricing patterns maintains the crypto system, for better or worse. Two, there’s a whole lot of money both moving through and not moving through the crypto system. What ignited this unlikely reversal? The Resilience of Alpaca Finance Alpaca Finance is a lending protocol in DeFi that runs on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It offers leveraged yield farming and does so in a very simple way. You put your funds into BSC yield farming, and you can also get a loan to invest more into the same yield farming. And then, with all of these funds, you’re putting them into yield farming, which is… well, it’s “degen stuff” — highly risky and hopefully highly profitable, too. In spite of the Binance delisting, which might have seriously affected its credibility and reach, Alpaca Finance appears to have profited from a combination of counterstrikes and goodwill in the marketplace. Where it has been able to, Alpaca has pushed back against its critics in a way that makes it seem responsive and responsible. The token recently got relisted on BitMart in August 2024. BitMart is now an alternate trading venue providing access to liquidity beyond Binance. There are now three distinct trading venues for trading the ALPACA token: 1. Binance 2. BitMart 3. Huobi Token. Moreover, the deflationary tokenomics of Alpaca play a key role in propping up its price. The platform does a weekly buyback and burn program wherein, as of January 2025, it has permanently removed from circulation over 34.6 million ALPACA tokens—roughly 18.4% of the total supply. This consistent reduction in supply creates price support when demand holds steady or surges, as it did during the panic and rebound post-delisting. Yet the most important point may be this: The rebound not only reflects the strength of the Alpaca Finance community but also throws into relief the truly wild and woolly character of the crypto markets. Instead of running for the hills, traders looked to Alpaca Finance and crypto’s other affected projects as places to put more of their not-so-hard-earned money, interpreting the crypto exchanges’ actions as an overreaction or seeing them as opportunities to buy quality assets at deep, deep discounts. Despite being delisted by Binance, $ALPACA defies the odds with a 111% rebound On April 24, @binance announced it will delist Alpaca Finance ( $ALPACA )、PlayDapp ( $PDA )、Viberate ( $VIB ) and Wing Finance ( $WING ) on May 2. $ALPACA initially dropped 20% on the news — but then… pic.twitter.com/Kx22kbfieY — Followin (@followin_io) April 24, 2025 Final Thoughts: A Cautionary Tale or a Comeback Story? Even though $ALPACA’s current rise is quite astonishing, we should not forget that the crypto markets can be so variable and driven by sentiment. One moment, a cryptocurrency can seem like it is absolutely doomed due to bad news; the next, it can be seen as the next big thing, bouncing back off the bottom like nobody’s business. That noted, investors should be careful. Being delisted, especially from a big exchange like Binance, is serious business. It can cause liquidity problems and reduced exposure that might last a long time. But, as Alpaca Finance just showed, getting delisted doesn’t necessarily mean a project is doomed. It’s yet to be determined whether the surge of $ALPACA is sustainable or merely a temporary shockwave. But for now, it stands as a defiant statement of survival — and an enthralling narrative of how fundamentals, community, and story can come together to confound market expectations.
