$LAB token

Note: The market-manipulation and insider-control claims below are allegations made by on-chain investigator ZachXBT and reported by multiple outlets. LAB and its founders had not publicly responded as of reporting, and no charges or regulatory actions have been reported. Token-level facts (listings, valuation, the June 2026 crash) are independently reported.

Summary

LAB is the native token of an AI-powered, multi-chain trading-terminal project. Its token generation event took place via Binance Alpha on October 14, 2025. In May–June 2026 it surged to a multi-billion-dollar fully diluted valuation (FDV) — by some reports briefly entering the top tier of crypto assets by valuation — before a sharp crash, drawing a detailed investigation by ZachXBT. ^[1][2][5]

Exchanges and listings

Per reporting, LAB has been listed or traded on, among others: Binance (via Binance Alpha, where its TGE occurred), Gate.io (LAB/USDT, listed the same day as the TGE), Bitget, MEXC, and Bittime (a regulated Indonesian exchange, May 8, 2026), as well as decentralized exchanges (e.g. Uniswap v3 on BNB Chain). ^[4][1] ZachXBT identified Bitget as the alleged primary market-making venue, with Binance and Gate as secondary channels, and said funds flowed to the founder's personal Bybit and Gate accounts. Reported backers include Lemniscap, OKX, Animoca, GSR, Gate, KuCoin, Mirana, and Amber — several of which are also exchanges where the token trades. ^[2][3]

Valuation

Reports of LAB's FDV vary widely due to a very low public float and extreme volatility: ZachXBT referenced a roughly $6 billion FDV at the pump's peak, while some outlets reported figures as high as ~$14.9 billion, briefly ranking LAB among the largest crypto assets by valuation. The large gap between market cap and FDV reflects heavy locked/vesting supply. ^[2][5]
