Key Takeaways
PROVE’s listing on Binance drew heavy selling pressure from market participants betting against a potential rally, causing a retracement in price. Despite this, momentum remains strong.
The 5th of August marked a significant trading day for Succinct, the zero-knowledge (ZK) proof protocol, as it launched its native token PROVE on Binance Spot.
The launch, which was partially executed as an airdrop, distributed 2 million unit of the asset to Binance users who met specific trading criteria.
However, shortly after listing, the token’s price fell sharply. Many airdrop recipients sold their holdings, triggering a 38% decline to $1.18.
As the sell-off continues to mount, AMBCrypto takes a closer look at the potential for the asset.

Community Sentiment, which tracks investor sentiment on PROVE, showed a notable shift toward bearishness.

On the chart, two scenarios appeared likely, though the bias remained bullish.
Following the price drop induced by Binance trader, PROVE has entered a demand zone between $1.27 and $1.01—a key region for potential accumulation.
Typically, this setup signals a possible rally, with PROVE potentially reclaiming its all-time high of $1.925.
If selling pressure intensifies, however, the price could dip further to a mid-range level of the demand zone, around $1.13. This would be a modest pullback before a potential surge toward its upward target.

But if the bearish trend strengthens and more sellers enter the market, a deeper decline could follow.
Bullish outlook holds weight
Despite the volatility, a bullish scenario remains more likely. Rising volume and price action—both historically linked to market rallies—support this view.
According to CoinMarketCap data, at press time, PROVE’s 24-hour volume was at $1.09 billion, reflecting a massive 26,000% increase. Meanwhile, price performance held steady at 40%.
Notably, MEXC exchange reports the highest premium and trading volume for PROVE, indicating that investors on the platform may continue driving price action.
