Binance listed MORPHO for futures trading only.
However, after listing on the exchanges, the price of MORPHO began to fall. In the first hours, it rose sharply to $3.11, which became an all-time high (ATH). After that, the coin rose slightly above $1.
It is interesting to note that the price of CHILLGUY did not react the same way as MORPHO.
Over the past 24 hours, the meme coin has grown by about 7%, although it has been one of the leaders in growth in the crypto market for the past two weeks.
