• Users are reminded to exercise risk management due to the high volatility of these relatively new tokens.

Immediately after being listed by global cryptocurrency firm Binance in its Innovation Zone on May 5, 2023, Pepe’s and Floki’s values experienced a rollercoaster ride. 

The Innovation Zone refers to a specialized trading area that enables users to exchange novel and innovative tokens, which tend to exhibit greater volatility and entail higher risks compared to other tokens.
