The current long-short game for LAB is extremely fierce. Judging from the support side, the narrative of an AI + multi-chain trading terminal still remains attractive in 2026. The derivatives market’s open interest has surged by 450%, trading volume has skyrocketed by 7500%, and on a single day, the shorts were liquidated for $8.71 million. Attention from speculative capital has reached a frenzied level. Once expected catalysts such as the mobile app land, sentiment could flip again at any time, pulling in a new round of market activity.

However, the chips on the risk side are also heavy. The project team controls more than 90% of the token supply. Current circulating supply is only 7.6% of the total, making the price easy for a small number of addresses to manipulate. On-chain, there have already been suspected cases where team addresses deposit 143 million LAB tokens into exchanges all at once (accounting for 43.4% of the circulating supply at the time). In addition, there are addresses that built positions at $0.20 and precisely cashed out about $1.13 million at $4—timed alongside public information, which is highly suspicious. Furthermore, the large-scale unlock about to begin in June will bring a clear expected sell-pressure outlook to the secondary market.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your risk appetite. LAB is like a volcano that is erupting: you can stay briefly to enjoy the spectacular eruption, but you must stay clear-headed about this—underlying heavy control, suspicions of insider trading, and a flood of unlocks could at any moment turn those who chase the price into part of the lava. The core advice from a neutral stance is: only participate in sentiment swings you can understand, strictly control your position size, and do not hold a heavy position overnight at the volcano’s crater.
