Griffin AI (GAIN) Completes Binance-Supported Token Swap, Price Down 86% from ICO Price, AI Agent Race Potential Rebound Opportunity Emerges
Source: Griffin AI Community Enthusiast
Summary:
Griffin AI (GAIN) recently completed a token swap in collaboration with Binance. The token supply structure has been cleaned up, and the project has received support from Binance's own funds for user compensation and token buyback. Currently, GAIN has launched on-chain usable products and resumed trading on multiple mainstream exchanges, but the market valuation is still about 86% lower than the issue price, showing a short-term mispricing. With the start of the buyback plan and increased market awareness, GAIN is expected to undergo a value reassessment.
Launch and Event Recap
GAIN simultaneously launched on Binance Alpha, HTX, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate, and Weex on September 24th, with an initial price of $0.05 (approximately $50 million FDV). Within a few hours, the price rose to $2.24 (approximately $220 million FDV), with a trading volume of over $100 million in the first 12 hours.
However, the next day, an attacker used a stolen BNB Bridge key to mint unauthorized tokens. The project team then collaborated with exchanges to remove the illicit tokens, deploy a new contract, and complete a 1:1 token swap on each platform. Despite full trading resumption, the price has not yet recovered to pre-event levels.
HTX Window and Early Revaluation Signal
During the event, HTX continued trading the unaffected original GAIN, while some non-partner platforms and pools like PancakeSwap and Uniswap were still operational, leading to a mix of real and fake tokens.
Prior to the token restart, the price on HTX surged from $0.014 to $0.06, a 400% increase, indicating that the market had begun positioning early for a "clean swap."
Binance Funding Intervention and Token Structure Stability
The Griffin team reached a collaboration agreement with Binance to avoid token dilution risks. Binance confirmed that it would cover 50% of the user swap costs from its own funds, which was seen as a direct vote of confidence in the project.
The total supply of GAIN remains at 1 billion tokens. Part of the supply allocated for project development comes from the early unlock of team and node allocation, accounting for approximately 12% of the circulating supply. This strategy aims to increase market liquidity while maintaining the overall tokenomic stability.
Post-Reboot Trading Performance
Binance resumed GAIN trading on October 13 amidst a short-term Bitcoin dip. Due to the overall market weakness, some early holders chose to sell their tokens.
Currently, recent trends indicate that GAIN has seemingly stabilized around $0.0066, showing signs of bottoming out. This suggests that the short-term selling pressure has gradually eased, potentially entering a new phase of accumulation.
Buyback Plan and Fund Allocation
Griffin has established a $2.5 million buyback plan, with the initial $1 million earmarked for the post-reboot phase.
Although the official start date of the buyback or burn operation has not been confirmed, the community speculates that the team may choose to accumulate at lower levels and expand marketing efforts once the market warms up.
Based on the current price, the buyback funds theoretically cover a significant portion of the circulating supply. If a concentrated buyback approach is taken, it could drive prices up quickly. Alternatively, phased execution may lead to a more stable revaluation cadence.
Product Development: Chat-Based Execution Agent for DeFi
Griffin's flagship product TEA Turbo has launched on BNB Chain and the Ethereum mainnet, positioned as a "native chat-based on-chain execution agent."
Users can conduct transactions, exchanges, transfers, and yield operations within chats without the need for traditional wallets or DeFi applications like MetaMask, Uniswap, or Aave.
This system autonomously executes operations, hiding the interface in the background, enabling "one-step DeFi completion."
Currently, Griffin is the only active on-chain execution agent on the BNB Chain and one of the few projects operational on Ethereum.
According to the project's data, it has over 250,000 users, with the community creating over 15,000 Agents. It has integrated with ecosystems such as 1inch, Arbitrum, BNB Wallet, Uniswap, NEAR, Cardano, and Bithumb/Burrito.
Access to advanced Agent features requires holding the GAIN token, thus creating a direct application demand and token value proposition.
Valuation Gap and Revaluation Logic
The current Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) of GAIN is approximately $7-10 million, about 86% lower than the issuance price, significantly below the typical valuation range of similar AI Agent projects, which is between $80 million and $270 million. Despite the token swap completion, funding support from Binance, product deployment, the market pricing is still influenced by psychological anchoring during the event period and the overall bearish market sentiment.
The revaluation logic for GAIN is clear:
· Supply has been cleaned up;
· Fundamentals remain intact;
· Exchange platform endorsement is solid;
· Buyback funds are sufficient;
· Real-world application scenarios are in place.
With project execution progress and market recovery, GAIN has significant room for valuation correction.
Subsequent Focus Areas
Analysts expect that GAIN's short-term trend will depend on the following three indicators:
1. Evidence and progress of on-chain buyback;
2. Usage of AI Agents and growth in developer activity;
3. Overall market sentiment towards the DeFi and AI integration track.
If these three trends gradually resonate, GAIN's valuation gap is expected to narrow. The price could first rise to the $50 million FDV at issuance (around $0.05), and then potentially test the range of similar projects at $80 million to $150 million (a 10–20x increase). If the project continues to deliver on its development plans and benefits from a resurgence in the AI Agent narrative, GAIN may even retest its initial post-listing $220 million FDV level.

In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.
ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
