Blockchain Investigator Accuses RaveDAO of Being Aware of Token Price Manipulation
A renowned blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, has alleged that the team behind RaveDAO is aware of the individual or group responsible for manipulating the price of its token, which experienced an unprecedented 11,000% surge before rapidly collapsing. The investigator cited suspicious activity on centralized crypto exchanges linked to RaveDAO team addresses on April 26, which appears to contradict the team's recent statements. RaveDAO had stated that they were not involved in or responsible for the recent price fluctuations, but ZachXBT argues that given the concentrated supply, the team must know who is behind the price action. The RAVE token's price had risen from $0.25 to $27.33 in just nine days, reaching a market capitalization of $6 billion, before plummeting by over 90% and losing approximately $5.7 billion in market capitalization within 48 hours. The investigator also noted that RAVE is not the only token to have experienced manipulation on major centralized exchanges, but its case is the most blatant, and it is unlikely that the exchanges did not detect the significant price movements.
