RaveDAO Accused of Being Aware of Token Price Manipulation by Blockchain Investigator

A renowned blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, has come forward with allegations that the team behind RaveDAO is aware of the individual responsible for manipulating the price of its token. This accusation comes on the heels of an extraordinary 11,000% price surge, followed by a precipitous collapse. The investigator highlighted suspicious activity on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges tied to RaveDAO team addresses, which may contradict the team's recent public statements. In a detailed analysis, ZachXBT identified a transfer of approximately $23 million worth of tokens from a RAVE address used for initial distribution to two Bitget deposit addresses, resulting in a 40% price drop. RaveDAO had previously denied any involvement in the price manipulation, stating that the team was not engaged in, nor responsible for, the recent price action. However, ZachXBT argues that given the concentrated supply and the team's handling of the initial distribution, it is unlikely they are unaware of the party responsible for the price manipulation. The investigator also expressed skepticism about the organic nature of the token's price surge, from $0.25 to $27.33 in just nine days, and its subsequent plunge by over 90%, resulting in a loss of roughly $5.7 billion in market capitalization. The current price of the token hovers around $0.67. Furthermore, ZachXBT noted that RAVE is not an isolated case of manipulation on major centralized exchanges, but rather the most blatant example.
