Blockchain Investigator Alleges RaveDAO Aware of Token Price Manipulation

A prominent blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, has come forward with allegations that the team behind RaveDAO is aware of the individual or entity responsible for the significant manipulation of its token's price. This claim follows an extraordinary 11,000% surge in the token's value, which was then followed by a sharp collapse. The investigator cited suspicious activity on centralized crypto exchanges tied to RaveDAO team addresses, which contradicts the team's recent statements denying involvement in the price action. RaveDAO had previously stated that they were not engaged in, nor responsible for, the recent price movements of their token. However, given the high concentration of token supply and the team's handling of the initial distribution, ZachXBT argues that it is unlikely the team does not know who is responsible for the price manipulation. The token in question had seen its market capitalization soar from $60 million to $6 billion in just nine days, only to plummet back down, losing approximately $5.7 billion in market capitalization over 48 hours. The investigator also expressed skepticism about the organic nature of the token's price increase, given its low float and the team's involvement in the initial distribution. Furthermore, ZachXBT noted that the manipulation of the RAVE token is not an isolated incident, suggesting that similar activities have been observed on major centralized exchanges, albeit perhaps less blatantly.
