CEX listings always feel like a trap to me. Too much control in too few hands.

So when I saw $TREN | @TrenFinance get wrecked post-MEXC launch, it wasn’t surprising, it was expected.

But here’s what wasn’t expected:

▸ They didn’t cope.
▸ They didn’t point fingers.
▸ They fought back.

The team axed the CEX path, cut ties with their market maker, and migrated the token — clean and fast.

Same token, new contract, 1:1 airdrop. No insider advantage. No MM games. Just a fresh shot at price discovery.

Why does this matter?

Because most projects still treat CEXs as a status symbol.
TREN saw through the illusion. They realized:

→ Liquidity without trust is just extraction.
→ DeFi without transparency is just TradFi in disguise.

I don’t know if $TREN will moon. But I do know this: they chose to fight the system, not exploit it.

And in this market, that choice is everything.
