Recently, the ecological token AB, just listed on Binance Alpha, achieved over 100 million in transaction volume for two consecutive days. Due to its high FDV, highly controlled token distribution, and impressive presidential-level behind-the-scenes team, it has sparked significant attention and skepticism within the community. Concerns are rising about whether it is facing an impending bubble crisis or price collapse, potentially becoming the next ZKJ.

Revitalizing a Stagnant Project: What is AB Blockchain?
AB was previously known as the Newton Project, which started in 2018 and officially rebranded to “AB” in 2025. According to the official website, AB employs a high-performance main chain supported by multiple side chains, emphasizing modularity and scalability. It aims to support multi-chain interoperability and serve as a bridge connecting real-world assets (RWA) with Web3 applications.
AB Blockchain Application Scenarios
AB’s technical architecture consists of three layers: infrastructure layer, protocol layer, and application layer, supporting interoperability with mainstream public chains like Ethereum and Solana. Its native token $AB is designed as the primary tool for gas fees, smart contract execution, governance, and ecological rewards on the platform. It will be widely used in scenarios such as DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, gaming, and supply chains.
The ecological token $AB has recently launched on Binance Alpha and achieved remarkable results in just a few days: the token price rose nearly 60%, with a 24-hour trading volume reaching 870 million USD. In the past two days, the trading volume has already surpassed the total of all previous listings, showcasing astonishing liquidity.
Presidential Endorsement or “Image Theft”? Surprising Global Presidential Mobilization on the Team Page
However, this morning, the crypto community raised strong doubts about the team page on AB’s official website. Multiple tweets pointed out that the core team member page bizarrely included names such as “Former President of Serbia Boris Tadić,” “Founding Chairman of the World Chinese Business Investment Foundation Ma Xingli,” and “Policymaker Dr. Moneef R. Zoubi, active in the Arab and New York scientific communities.”
Even more astonishingly, the AB Charity Foundation could be described as a “Prime Minister Collection,” with board members and senior advisors including former Prime Ministers of Ireland, Hungary, Malta, and former Presidents of Bulgaria, creating a rather impressive lineup.
This presentation of the team has led the community to question whether AB is attempting to “leverage celebrity endorsements” to increase credibility. Additionally, the page layout is crude, the syntax vague, and product content unclear, leading to suspicions that the website was constructed by a cheap outsourcing firm, thereby triggering a crisis of trust.
Imbalanced Token Distribution? 97% Control Increases Risk
Beyond concerns about team identities, market panic is further fueled by the token distribution situation. Gmgn data shows that the ratio of $AB’s phishing wallets is as high as 99.6%, and the largest holder’s share accounts for 97.3%, indicating nearly total control. This extreme concentration not only risks market liquidity issues but also lays the groundwork for price manipulation and crash risks.
In the DeFi ecosystem, such a highly concentrated token distribution is often associated with potential “pump and dump” strategies. The community believes that if you are a liquidity provider (LP) or hold a significant amount of $AB, you should be highly alert to potential price risks and technical crashes.
15 Billion FDV: What Justifies It? The Gap Between Valuation Bubble and Application Deployment
Currently, AB’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) stands at an astonishing 1.5 billion USD. This valuation is compared to more established projects with widespread applications and market recognition, such as $INJ, $LIDO, and $CAKE. Critics question: “Does a chain whose practicality and popularity are not yet clear deserve to stand at the same valuation level as these mature DeFi projects?”
Although AB’s narrative focuses on RWA on-chain and cross-chain technology, there is currently no evidence of large-scale deployment or ecological application. As it stands, such a high valuation may simply be inflated, potentially becoming the trigger that collapses market confidence and leads to a severe market crash.

In the crypto market, there is often a significant gap between narrative and execution. While AB’s vision for RWA integration is indeed appealing, the concerns regarding team transparency, token distribution structure, and valuation fundamentals seem to outweigh the selling points.
As the community has begun issuing warnings about the “next coin to crash,” and the project team remains unresponsive, the true value of $AB may only be clear to those who carry the burden to the end.
