LAB Token market collapse

Overview

The LAB Token, native to the LAB Trade platform, underwent a massive devaluation throughout mid-2026. In July, the token experienced a 95% crash that erased approximately $5 billion in market capitalization, dropping from a peak of $27.22 in June to $0.27 by mid-July. This collapse occurred alongside a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market, characterized by declining Bitcoin prices and reduced stablecoin market capitalization.

By August, the token faced further volatility, including a 21% single-day price drop driven by a 278% increase in selling pressure. This decline was linked to the opening of an airdrop claim window, which allowed early investors to sell tokens and significantly increased the circulating supply. Following these events and allegations raised by ZachXBT, the token fell below the $0.10 support level to approximately $0.08, representing a total decline of more than 99.67% from its peak.
