POWER’s 90% Crash: The Crypto Tale You Won’t Believe

by

The POWER token, that gleaming pretender in the cryptic ballroom, has fallen by more than 90% in the last twenty-four hours, and with it the February glitter vanishes into the dim blue of despair.

That staggering loss has stirred conversations more acutely than a scandal in a velvet drawing room, as a major token unlock approaches like a melodramatic curtain.

A February Bravura: 900% Rise, Then a 90% Descent

Contextually, Power Protocol is a blockchain atelier devoted to Web3 gaming and entertainment, stitching games, consumer apps, studios, and digital IP into a single economic tapestry, with the POWER token as the nimble thread.

The altcoin is a fresh entrant, debuting on December 5, 2025, sashaying through an initial rally before flirting with volatility.

Nevertheless, momentum regained in early February, even as the broader markets lamely trudge. Later in the month, the platform secured a $3 million infusion from BITKRAFT Ventures.

“Power Protocol raised new funding in a round led exclusively by BITKRAFTVC, bringing total funding to $15.4M. We’re building the economic engine behind the next generation of crypto entertainment, with POWER at the core,” the platform announced.

Throughout February, POWER ascended by more than 900%, culminating in an all-time high of $2.46 on March 2, a balloon of exuberance that forgot gravity’s counsel.

Yet what followed resembled a pratfall of epic proportions. BeInCrypto Markets data showed a 90% retreat in a single day, an intraday low of $0.15-the nadir since late January. At the moment of writing, POWER sashayed around $0.18.

The sharp decline has propelled POWER to the top of CoinGecko’s daily losers list. Additionally, community sentiment remains largely negative, with 64% of users bearish about the token.

CoinGecko attributes the decline to two triggers. First, the Ronin Bridge reportedly paused briefly, creating a chasm between on-chain markets and centralized exchanges (CEXs).

“Talk about a POWER dive once the bridge released. I heard there was a bot maxing out the daily transfer through the Ronin bridge. I guess whoever survived the crazy high funding fees on CEXs made a fortune holding a short position.”

Second, an upcoming token unlock scheduled for March 5 intensified fears of further selling pressure. DropsTab data suggests the unlock represents 1.2% of the total supply.

Meanwhile, the severity of the drop spurred speculation. Some on X cried rug-pull; others called it a “crime dump.”

“Crime coins can also do what $POWER is doing now….go -75% in a day. What goes up…,” Altcoin Sherpa wrote.

Though these are allegations, the drop clearly dented investor sentiment. As the March 5 unlock approaches, participants may grow cautious. Further declines could follow if sentiment worsens and the newly unlocked tokens hit the market swiftly.
