My second observation is this...why are there different prices on $XION pre-trade on different exchanges? I recall the exchange mentioning only Bitget and Bybit for launchpool so, should one trust the other exchanges?
If they did not mention other exchange, then I don't see why one should trust them, however tempting the price, maybe. I also often see announcements from the official handles of the project and involved exchanges on the upcoming launches and programs.
Anyone who ignores the announcements and then goes on to deal with an exchange that is not the official partner is really to blame from any lose of funds that could happen.
