OM Coin, which recently faced a significant downturn, is making headlines again with efforts to regain investor confidence.

Recently, OM (OM Chain) has been a hot topic in the crypto sphere due to a substantial downturn that led to concerns among investors. However, the project’s CEO, John Patrick Mullin, is making efforts to regain confidence. In a surprising move, Mullin announced his plan to burn his own OM tokens.
OM Coin CEO to Burn His Tokens
Announced via the X platform, Mullin’s intention is to burn all of his team tokens. “I plan to burn all my team tokens. If we can get the project back on its feet, the community will decide whether or not to give these tokens back to me,” he said.
Out of the 1.77 billion OM tokens, approximately 300 million (16.88% of the total supply) are reserved for the team, set to vest by 2027. However, the CEO initially intends to burn his portion, amounting to 772,000 OM tokens, aiming to boost confidence in the project.
This move comes after a collapse that left many investors skeptical.
Community Concerns Over Motivation
Ran Neuner, founder of Crypto Banter, expressed concerns that burning the tokens could demotivate the project team. He believes the focus should be on organically rebuilding investor confidence through project development.
Responding to these concerns, Mullin proposed transferring the tokens to a community-managed pool instead of burning them. His overarching message is: “We keep building.”
Despite recent challenges, OM Coin’s value surged by 30% in a 24-hour period, reaching $0.78. This uptick suggests a renewed interest from investors. However, the longevity of this recovery depends on the project’s transparency and forthcoming strategies.
Moreover, Mullin has committed to releasing a comprehensive report on the recent downturn and plans to initiate a token buyback and burn program. He has also refuted “pump-and-dump” allegations, stating that no team member sold tokens and all transactions were transparently recorded.
OM Coin’s turbulent period seems to be subsiding. The future of investor trust will depend on the execution of the promised actions, including the token burning, buyback program, and sustained transparency. If effectively implemented, OM Coin could yet regain its presence in the investors’ portfolios. Otherwise, the recent price surge might only be a short-lived reaction.
