Following a massive price surge, the Squid Game token plummeted over 99% shortly after Twitter flagged its “official” accounts on the social media platform as suspicious.

At the time of writing, Squid token is trading at $0.0054, down about 99% over the past 24 hours with a trading volume of $13 million. According to CMC, the SQUID token has a “self-reported” market capitalization of $2.8 million at the time of publication. “The CMC team has not verified the project’s market cap,” CMC’s warning reads. The token’s fully diluted market cap is $5 million, down over 99%. The drop came shortly after Twitter flagged accounts reportedly associated with the SQUID token as suspicious, including the original account with over 70,000 subscribers.
Squid token was suspected to be a scam.
The crypto community has been suspecting the SQUID token of being a scam from the very beginning due to its apparently fake founders and blocked comments on Twitter. On Friday, CoinGecko co-founder Bobby Ong said that the token is “most likely a scam,” noting that the firm did not list it because it didn’t meet their listing criteria. At the time, the token was trading around $5. Multiple warnings in the crypto community did not prevent the token from rallying to a staggering price. Its price saw astronomical gains, reaching $90 as of Monday and then hitting over $2,000 in several minutes.
