#LAB两日腰斩53% LAB token crash analysis
Market overview
LAB token has recently suffered a catastrophic plunge: the price fell by 35% in two days, the market cap shrank from several billions of dollars to approximately $155 million, with the overall drop exceeding 96%.
Crash cause analysis
1、Team/insider selling (main reason) According to on-chain analyst ZachXBT’s investigation:
Insiders control more than 95% of the circulating supply, raising serious concerns of market manipulation.
Team-related wallets received 196 million+ LAB tokens in April 2026.
Within the past 48 hours, an address funded by the team deposited 18.4 million LAB to Aster DEX (about $18.3 million) and sold aggressively.
The entity still holds 81.5 million LAB, and continued selling pressure remains.
On August 14, approximately 282 million locked tokens will be released
2、Token unlock pressure.
On August 14, approximately 282 million locked tokens will be unlocked.
Investors worry about a large-scale sell-off after the unlock and exit early.
3、Liquidity crisis
Trading volume briefly reached $367 million (close to the total market cap), indicating that large amounts of tokens were fleeing.
After liquidity dries up, even a small number of sell orders can cause sharp price volatility
Current risk warning
⚠️ High-risk warning:
Insider holdings are highly concentrated, making the price easy to manipulate
Large remaining holdings (81.5 million LAB) may continue to be sold at any time
The August unlock event will further increase sell-side supply pressure
Market confidence has been severely damaged, and liquidity is unlikely to recover
Technical observations
Key support zone: $0.44-$0.55
If it breaks below this range, it may continue to probe lower. As high volatility persists, short-term trading risk is extremely high$LAB
