While blue-chip cryptocurrencies are attempting a recovery in wake of broadly bearish price action since last Friday, $BIAO, $HEMULE and $XFER are the top crypto gainers today on DEXTools.

The shitcoin has been around a while so it probably isn’t a scam.
That being said, it has four smart contract alerts, as per DEXTools’ security audit, so investors should be cautious.
