Blockchain Investigator Alleges RaveDAO's Awareness of Token Price Manipulation

A prominent blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, has come forward with claims that the team behind RaveDAO is aware of the individual or entity responsible for manipulating the price of its token. The token in question experienced an extraordinary 11,000% price increase, only to plummet shortly after. ZachXBT's investigation uncovered suspicious activity on centralized crypto exchanges tied to RaveDAO team addresses, contradicting the team's recent statements denying involvement in the price movement. The investigator highlighted a specific transfer of approximately $23 million worth of tokens from a RAVE address to two Bitget deposit addresses, resulting in a 40% price drop. RaveDAO had previously stated that they were not engaged in or responsible for the recent price action, but ZachXBT argues that given the concentrated supply, the team must at least be aware of who is responsible. The RaveDAO token's price surged from around $0.25 to $27.33 in nine days, reaching a market capitalization of $6 billion, before losing approximately $5.7 billion in value over the next 48 hours. The current price hovers around $0.67. ZachXBT also noted that RAVE is not the only token to have experienced manipulation on major centralized exchanges, but its case is particularly blatant, and it is unlikely that the exchanges did not detect the significant price movements.
