Blockchain Investigator Accuses RaveDAO of Knowing Identity of Token Price Manipulator
A prominent blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, has alleged that the team behind RaveDAO is aware of the individual responsible for manipulating the price of its token, which experienced an unprecedented 11,000% surge followed by a sharp decline. The investigator discovered suspicious activity on centralized crypto exchanges linked to RaveDAO team addresses, contradicting the team's claims of not being involved in the price manipulation. RaveDAO had previously stated that they were not responsible for the recent price action, but ZachXBT argues that given the concentrated supply, the team must know who is behind the price movement. The RAVE token's price had risen from $0.25 to $27.33 in nine days, before dropping by over 90% and losing $5.7 billion in market capitalization. The investigator also noted that this is not an isolated incident, stating that similar manipulation has been seen on major centralized exchanges, but the RAVE token case is the most blatant.
