The Impact of Market Manipulation

Market manipulation is an unfair practice in the financial sector with far-reaching consequences. In the field of crypto assets, the impact of market manipulation is particularly severe, as it not only disrupts the price discovery process but may also lead to significant financial losses for innocent users.

Common Market Manipulation Techniques

Binance has exposed three common market manipulation techniques:

Pump and Dump

"Pump and Dump" requires a coordinated manipulation team to sharply increase the price of a certain crypto asset by buying a large amount of it. The sudden price surge will induce other investors to buy in, further boosting the asset's market value.

Once the price reaches a predetermined level, the group will quickly sell off, causing the price to collapse, and unsuspecting investors will suffer significant losses.

Spoofing

Spoofing refers to manipulators placing large buy or sell orders in the market to create a false impression of high supply or demand. These orders are typically not executed but influence investors' judgment of the asset's price.

Once other market participants push the price in a favorable direction, the manipulators will cancel the orders, profiting from the induced price fluctuations.

Wash Trading

In wash trading, manipulators simultaneously buy and sell the same asset, creating false trading volume. This creates an illusion of high liquidity and high holding levels for a certain asset, often enticing other investors to act. Wash trading disrupts the natural price discovery process, masking the true market demand for the asset. It is not only illegal but also deceptive.
