RaveDAO Accused of Knowing Token Price Manipulator by Blockchain Investigator
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 pointed to suspicious activity on centralized crypto exchanges tied to RaveDAO team addresses, contradicting the team's claims of innocence. The RaveDAO token's price skyrocketed from $0.25 to $27.33 in nine days, only to drop by over 90% and lose $5.7 billion in market capitalization within 48 hours, with its current price hovering around $0.67. ZachXBT highlighted a transfer of $23 million worth of tokens from a RAVE address to two Bitget deposit addresses, resulting in a 40% price drop. The investigator expressed skepticism towards RaveDAO's claims of not being involved in the price manipulation, stating that given the token's supply concentration, the team must be aware of the party responsible. The allegations have sparked concerns over the lack of utility and the unusual price movement, with the investigator questioning how the token's price could have increased so dramatically in such a short period. The incident has also raised questions about the role of centralized exchanges in detecting and preventing such manipulation.
