DeFiance Capital founder: Projects colluding with market makers to manipulate prices is the biggest problem plaguing the crypto market Arthur, founder and chief investment officer of DeFiance Capital, wrote on the X platform that the biggest problem plaguing the current liquid cryptocurrency market is how projects and market makers work together to create artificial prices that can be maintained for a long time, and this process is completely in a black box state. You can't tell whether the price is determined by the real supply and demand relationship, or simply because the project and the market maker collude to manipulate the price to achieve other goals. What is incredible is that centralized exchanges (CEX) are completely blind to this, and the altcoin market is increasingly becoming a "lemon market" with a lack of confidence. Not to mention that the pricing of most token initial offerings (TGEs) this year is simply a joke. They fell 70% to 90% within a few months of listing, and anyone who bought in suffered huge losses. If the major players in the industry do not step up to improve this situation, most of the market will still be unable to attract investment in the foreseeable future.

The number of US crypto lobbying groups has increased sharply, and the industry is worried about resource duplication and reduced efficiency As the US cryptocurrency policy environment becomes increasingly active, more than 12 major lobbying organizations are active in Washington, including the Digital Chamber, the Blockchain Association, and the Crypto Innovation Council (CCI). Recently, new organizations such as the Solana Policy Institute (SPI) and the National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) have also been added. Although industry leaders generally believe that "there is strength in numbers", some former policy advisers are concerned that multiple organizations have a high degree of overlap in membership, funding, and goals, which may lead to waste of resources and excessive bombardment of policymakers. The Stand With Crypto movement led by Coinbase and the supportive political action committee Fairshake are also promoting policy changes. Last year, it invested more than $100 million to support pro-crypto candidates. As the new Congress advances a number of key crypto bills (covering market regulation, stablecoins, DeFi, proof of reserves, etc.), leadership changes have occurred in multiple organizations, such as Kristin Smith leaving the Blockchain Association to join the Solana Policy Institute, and Perianne Boring, founder of the Digital Chamber of Commerce, also withdrew from daily management and only retained a board position.

### **Bull Case for Holding $BABY** - **Community & Hype**: Strong meme coin communities can sustain prices longer than expected. - **Potential Utility**: Some "baby" tokens add staking, burns, or DeFi features to increase scarcity. - **Exchange Listings**: Major listings (Binance, Coinbase) can trigger massive pumps.

How the Crash Unfolded & How You Can Protect Yourself In under 40 minutes, more than $6 billion vanished from the crypto markets — all tied to $OM (Mantra), a top-20 altcoin just days ago. While many were caught off guard, some saw it coming. Now, it’s clear this isn’t just about one token. This could be the first of many. What is $OM (Mantra)? 🔹 A Layer-1 blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK 🔹 Focused on bringing Real World Assets (RWA) on-chain 🔹 Recently reached an $8 billion market cap, ranking Top 20 on CoinMarketCap On the surface, $OM looked strong — but behind the scenes, cracks were forming. Early Red Flags Were Ignored Over the past year, the community voiced growing concerns: 🔹 Allegations of market manipulation via fraudulent market makers 🔹 Tokenomics changed quietly without public input 🔹 The promised airdrop faced repeated delays 🔹 Most importantly: ~90% of $OM supply was allegedly controlled by the team This level of centralization is a massive risk — and it became the perfect setup for disaster. The Collapse: How $OM Fell Apart Two days ago, the chain reaction began. 🔹 A wallet linked to insiders sent 6.5M $OM (~$41M) to OKX 🔹 Panic rippled through the market 🔹 Binance, OKX, and other major exchanges saw massive sell-offs and liquidations Behind the curtain, it was even worse: 🔹 $OM had been sold OTC to private investors at discounts up to 50% 🔹 When the price dropped, those tokens unlocked and flooded the market 🔹 OTC buyers dumped, trying to salvage losses 🔹 Market makers glitched on Binance, accelerating the collapse Within minutes: ➔ Panic selling spread ➔ Stop-losses triggered ➔ Leverage wiped out ➔ Over $6B in value vanished Aftermath: Chaos & Confusion 🔹 Bridges were suspended between Mantra’s chain and Ethereum 🔹 On-chain data shows $227 million in $OM was sent to exchanges before the crash 🔹 Multiple whales quietly exited 🔹 Meanwhile, regular users were left with 90% losses, needing 9x gains just to break even The Mantra team blamed forced closures by CEXs, not insider selling — but few believe that explanation. What You Can Learn (Before the Next One Hits) Many altcoins are showing similar signs. You need to be proactive, not reactive. Key Takeaways: 🔹 Be cautious with projects where a few wallets control most of the supply 🔹 Delays, excuses, and silence from the team = red flags 🔹 Sudden price spikes with no fundamentals = exit signals 🔹 Always DYOR — don’t trust hype over hard data Final Thoughts: Crypto Rewards the Sharp In this market: 🔹 Hype is loud 🔹 Manipulation is common 🔹 Your capital is your lifeline Protect your stack as fiercely as you chase gains. Because in crypto, the biggest collapses happen when you least expect them — and the warning signs were there all along.
