RaveDAO Accused of Knowing Token Price Manipulator by Blockchain Investigator
A prominent blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, has come forward with allegations that the team behind RaveDAO is aware of the individual or entity responsible for manipulating the price of its token, which experienced an unprecedented 11,000% surge before plummeting. The investigator cited suspicious activity on centralized exchanges tied to RaveDAO team addresses, which may contradict the team's recent statements denying involvement in the price manipulation. The RaveDAO team had previously stated that they were not engaged in, nor responsible for, the recent price action, but ZachXBT argues that given the concentrated supply of the token, the team must at least be aware of who is responsible. The token's price had risen from $0.25 to $27.33 in just nine days, reaching a market capitalization of $6 billion, before losing over 90% of its value in 48 hours. The investigator also noted that this is not an isolated incident, suggesting that similar manipulation has occurred with other tokens on major centralized exchanges, and that it is unlikely the exchanges did not detect the massive price movements.
