AUCTION Surges Nearly 500% in 50 Days: Is It a Result of Price Manipulation or the Discovery of its True Potential?
Original Article Title: "AUCTION Soars Nearly 500% in 50 Days, How Did Bounce Brand Beat the Odds?"
Original Article Author: Asher, Odaily Planet Daily
Recently, as BTC's price fluctuated and market sentiment varied, many altcoins lacked momentum, with both community activity and secondary market performance remaining subdued. However, during this period, the Bounce Brand ecosystem token AUCTION showed remarkable strength, demonstrating outstanding price performance. Since hitting a low of $7 in early February, the price of AUCTION has been steadily rising, surpassing $40 last night. Not only did it refresh the previous year's price high, but it also achieved a peak increase of over 470% in just a month and a half, far exceeding the market average.

So, why has the price of AUCTION shown such a remarkable performance? Odaily Planet Daily will analyze it for you from both fundamental and data perspectives.
Bounce Brand Introduction

Bounce Brand is a decentralized platform focused on Web3 services, providing BTC application chains, on-chain auctions, and decentralized financial tools, mainly targeting the Bitcoin ecosystem. Its core focus is to expand the application scenarios of Bitcoin through DeFi solutions and to advance blockchain technology.
Furthermore, Bounce Brand recognizes that AI will rapidly develop in the Web3 field, so by 2024, it is committed to connecting AI with Web3 through an innovative approach to decentralized AI intelligent agent nodes (Decentralized Nodes for AI Agents, DNA). This integration provides further utility to its native token AUCTION and enhances security to strengthen the Bounce ecosystem.
Launching the AI Agent Launchpad is Key
On March 3, Bounce Brand announced on Platform X that Auction Intelligence will launch the AI Agent Launchpad on the BNB Chain, open to AUCTION and Broccoli holders. At the same time, Bounce Brand introduced an AUCTION airdrop event, distributing to the creators of the highest market cap graduation tokens in the Broccoli pair and 300 lottery participants on the first day (including non-winners). The same conditions were applied to AUCTION users the next day, followed by alternating distributions daily.

Auction Intelligence Launches AI Agent Launchpad on BNB Chain
Feature Experience
For the AI Agent Launchpad on the BNB Chain (Website: https://ai.bounce.finance/), on one hand, you can create your own AI Agent token by clicking on "Create AI Agent" at the bottom of the webpage (for specific creation details, please refer to the official documentation).

In the Agent Chat interface, the token creator needs to fill in information about the created AI Agent token, including the token name, description, icon, etc., and select AUCTION or Broccoli 3Ef (0x343E66bAD706EED4350fE96385ffc6336bd653Ef) as the fundraising token.
The total supply of the created AI Agent token is fixed at 1 billion, with 400 million allocated for liquidity provision and the remaining 600 million available for the creator to distribute freely.
After filling in the information, the AI Agent will automatically create the token and initiate a lottery event. This lottery event will distribute a total of 300 tickets, and 100 winners will be randomly selected through a smart contract. The default fundraising target is 2000 AUCTION or the equivalent value in Broccoli 3Ef, with the price of each ticket being 20 AUCTION or the equivalent value in Broccoli 3Ef.
If the number of participants exceeds 100, the token fundraising target is met, and the Agent token will be considered "graduated," meaning it will be officially launched. 2% of the fundraising will be allocated, with 1% going to the token creator and 1% to the Launchpad. Subsequently, the platform will use the fundraising to provide liquidity for the token, enabling it to trade on the PancakeSwap and AI Launchpad exchanges.

It is not difficult to see that the Bounce Brand platform considers the current on-chain trend to be AI Agent projects in the BNB Chain ecosystem. Therefore, by launching the AI Agent Launchpad on the BNB Chain, Bounce Brand aims to attract user participation, provide a new use case for the AUCTION token, and potentially drive up the AUCTION price if a "graduated token" on the Bounce Brand platform becomes a "hit."
Still Need a "Breakthrough" to Ignite the Market
According to platform data, currently only 7 projects have successfully completed fundraising and "graduated" on the Bounce Brand platform within the BNB Chain ecosystem AI Agent project. However, the overall market recognition of these projects is still relatively low. For example, the project with the highest market value on the list, BOT, has a total market value of only $200,000, which has not yet reached the threshold to attract larger scale funding and user attention.
Furthermore, discussions about KOLs issuing projects on the Bounce Brand platform are very limited on social media, and there is hardly anyone discussing Bounce Brand's issued projects in the community, leading to weak market enthusiasm and awareness, affecting the dissemination and growth of AI Agent token projects on the platform.

Data Metrics of BNB Chain Ecosystem AI Agent Projects Issued on Bounce Brand
Although projects issued on the Bounce Brand platform have not yet experienced a true "breakthrough," the platform's token AUCTION price has continued to rise. Is this upward trend due to the market not fully realizing the platform's potential value or is it due to "whales" manipulating the price?
The AUCTION Token Has Been "Cornered" to Some Extent
On March 16, according to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, after the AUCTION whale/institution withdrew 26% of AUCTION from Binance, the current distribution of on-chain chips has achieved a certain degree of "cornering":
Exchange platform wallets (Upbit/Binance/OKX): 2.11 million tokens (27% of the total token supply), and the change in other CEXs is minimal, mainly that this "whale" withdrew 2 million tokens from Binance;
The recent "whale" who withdrew AUCTION from Binance: 2 million tokens (26% of the total token supply), these 2 million tokens were withdrawn from Binance in the last 3 weeks; Project team address: 1.91 million tokens (25% of the total token supply), the last time tokens were moved from the project team's two multi-signature wallets was 5 months ago, and it is estimated that there will be no operations in the short term.

ACUTION Token Holding Situation
Is the "Whale" About to Start Dumping?
With the continuous rise in the AUCTION price, the aforementioned "whale" started transferring AUCTION to Binance on March 17th. As of today (March 19th), they have transferred 500,000 AUCTION to Binance, worth over $19 million, and still hold 1.5 million AUCTION. The addresses are as follows:
Address One: 0xAd2E7CeB5cE3C4FD0AbD3c0d6a39646C52644403: 500,000 AUCTION, worth over $19 million;
Address Two: 0x02a16EB459fb61d1d127ADBCbfB5575F346d052f: 500,000 AUCTION, worth over $19 million;
Address Three: 0xEc17Da400f7e23Cc6081A53d488189Ad6C4fa09c: 500,000 AUCTION, worth over $19 million.
After the "whale" transferred to Binance on March 17th, the AUCTION token price experienced a slight pullback (dropping from $34 to $31) but continued to rise. The current price is $38. It is worth noting the subsequent price changes and monitoring the movements of these three addresses. Odaily Planet Daily will continue to report on this.
