Picture this: A2Z, the token formerly known as LOKA, sashays into the ballroom of Web3 with a new look, and within mere hours, faints dramatically upon the chaise lounge—25% lighter and significantly less glamorous. The crowd, as so often happens at these blockchain soirées, gasps; traders perform their favorite number, “buy the rumor, sell the news”, with all the subtlety of a street magician and twice the vanishing acts. 🪄💸
- A2Z tried to reinvent itself and lost 25% of its self-esteem in public.
- Traders, with the delicacy of a Victorian houseguest raiding the silverware, have cashed out.
- Binance, unfazed as always, resumed all trading for A2Z—a sort of digital stiff upper lip.
Why all the melodrama? On the fateful Wednesday of July 30, Arena-Z (A2Z)—having just emerged from the chrysalis of its LOKA days—tumbled 25% after Binance offered the fresh token to the world, like a dubious canapé. This came directly after swapping from the “League of Kingdoms Arena” mantle and announcing a brave new Web3 universe, where if you lose money quickly, it is at least on-brand.
The swap began on July 28, 2025, at a mathematically enthusiastic exchange of 1 LOKA for 20 A2Z. Binance, with all the cold efficiency of a Victorian butler, opened A2Z/USDT trading by July 30. The token soared to $0.0062, which thrilled exactly three people, and then plummeted faster than societal standards at a Wildean dinner party.
A2Z soon collapsed to $0.004622, consolidating at $0.00496—a 27.6% decline that would make even Dorian Gray flinch. The most plausible villain, apart from market forces and poetic irony, is that perennial favorite: “buy the rumor, sell the news.” The liquidity? As scant as a debutante’s diary page. The result? Tragedy—with a dash of farce.
A2Z: Still standing, albeit shakily, in LOKA’s shadow
A2Z is the sequined heir to the League of Kingdoms Arena (LOKA) token, once the jewel of 3MERGED’s Web3 MMO. Binance grudgingly first acknowledged LOKA’s existence back in January 2022—a simpler time, when tokens were tokens and markets were merely cryptic.
AZ Chain—unveiled October 2024 on the ever-so-exclusive Optimism Superchain—was designed as a utility chain for the gaming set. In light of these grand ambitions, the team concluded that a rebrand was, if not inevitable, at least fashionable.
Despite A2Z’s opening pratfall, those patient souls who swapped from LOKA are not entirely bereft. LOKA strutted up 136.58% in the month before the swap, riding the coattails of the wider market’s optimism—proving, if nothing else, that fortune occasionally favours those who don’t pay attention to the small print.
