The recent listing of the Ethereum-based meme coin Neiro on several centralized exchanges (CEXs) has caused quite a stir in the crypto community, with much of the interest coming from comments from renowned blockchain researcher ZachXBT, who expressed his concerns about the situation.
On the X platform (formerly Twitter), ZachXBT noted that the market is returning to old patterns where exchange cartels promote dubious projects. The researcher stated, “We are basically back to square one. After the CEX cartel listed two NEIRO token projects, the original NEIRO project (referring to the lowercase Neiro token) also became part of the cartel’s NEIRO.”
These words highlight that, in the opinion of the researcher, both tokens $NEIRO , regardless of their origin and development, are now linked to the so-called "NEIRO cartel", a term used to describe a group of exchanges that allegedly promote related tokens, raising suspicions of unscrupulous activity.
The situation has become even more controversial after the owner of Kabosu, the famous Shiba Inu dog that is the original face of the Doge meme coin, claimed that all coins called #NEIRO are scams. Despite this, both tokens continue to exist on exchanges, increasing doubts about their authenticity and legitimacy.
Thus, the listing of #neiroeth has led to a division of opinion in the crypto community: on the one hand, there are enthusiasts who believe in the potential of meme coins, on the other, there are experts calling for caution and warning about possible fraudulent schemes.
