Wen $MASK? Not so Fast!
A MetaMask representative blasted CoinMarketCap for publishing a listing page for the MASK token, which doesn’t exist yet, calling on the directory to “please take down this fake shit.”

The $MASK page drew attention from crypto users on Twitter on Friday, sparking even more speculation about when the popular crypto wallet might release its much-anticipated token.
Following the outcry from spencecoin.eth from MetaMask and parent company Consensys, CMC added the following disclaimer to the $MASK page: “This page is a placeholder for the eventual MetaMask token … There are no further details at the moment. Beware of fake phishing sites and check official MetaMask resources for further updates.”
In response, spencecoin.eth said the disclaimer is a welcome addition but that CMC should take down the page altogether and would bear responsibility for anyone who loses money on a fake MASK token.
Thanks for at least updating to note it's a placeholder page and not a real listing.

But you should remove it altogether and never add these without an actual token existing.
You're responsible for anyone who loses money from scam tokens that reference this illegitimate page.
