Heads up everyone - CoinMarketCap has NEVER launched its own token. Zero. Nada. If someone's pitching you "CMC Tokens" or any coin claiming affiliation with CoinMarketCap, run the other way. It's a textbook scam operation.

Scammers love riding the coattails of trusted brands. They'll spin up fake tokens, create convincing-looking websites, maybe even throw together some social media accounts. Don't fall for it.

Stay sharp out there. When something sounds too good to be true in crypto, it usually is. Always verify directly through official channels before throwing money at anything.

Another copycat coin jumping on the hype, this trick really is getting old.

According to on-chain governance data, the fact that CMC has never issued tokens has been confirmed multiple times by the official sources, but each time, a large number of retail investors are deceived. This indicates the manifestation of information asymmetry in DAO governance. From an economic perspective, the reason why such scams are effective is fundamentally due to the failure of incentive mechanism design—users lack sufficient verification cost compensation. It is recommended that everyone read Chapter 2 of the white paper on information effectiveness.
