RaveDAO Accused of Knowing About Token Price Manipulation by Blockchain Investigator

A blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, has come forward with allegations that the team behind RaveDAO is aware of the individual or group responsible for manipulating the price of its token. This accusation comes after the token experienced an unprecedented 11,000% surge, followed by a sharp decline. The investigator pointed to suspicious activity on centralized exchanges, which he believes contradicts RaveDAO's claims of not being involved in the price manipulation. The token's price skyrocketed from $0.25 to $27.33 in just nine days, only to plummet by over 90% and lose approximately $5.7 billion in market capitalization within 48 hours. The current price of the token is around $0.67. ZachXBT also highlighted a transfer of roughly $23 million worth of tokens from a RaveDAO address to two Bitget deposit addresses, which led to a 40% drop in the token's price. The investigator expressed skepticism about RaveDAO's claims of not being responsible for the price action, given the concentrated supply and the team's handling of the initial distribution. He also questioned the likelihood of the token's price increasing organically by such a large margin in a short period, suggesting that the team must be aware of the party responsible for the manipulation. Furthermore, ZachXBT stated that this is not an isolated incident, implying that similar manipulation has occurred with other tokens on major centralized exchanges, and that it is unlikely that these exchanges were unaware of the significant price movements.
