What’s Happening to the Altcoin That Binance Delisted? First Dump Then Pump! “What’s the Reason for the 400 Percent Increase?

Alpaca Finance (ALPACA), one of the most talked about altcoins of recent days with the rise it experienced after Binance’s delisting announcement, experienced a big jump in the last 24 hours.
