- If token crashed 90% due to forced liquidations of centralized exchanges, says Mantra’s co-founder.
- Mantra denies commitment from the mantra team or investor in the fall in prices.
John Patrick Mullin, co -founder and CEO of Mantra, addressed about Token’s Abrupt 90% price decline On Sunday, with the task that “ruthless forced closures” on CEX caused the decrease, rather than alleged internal activity of the project group.
“The time and depth of the crash indicate that a very sudden closure of account positions began without sufficient warning or message,” Mullin said in a statement To society a few hours after the crash shows up.
Although he did not name any specific platform, the contractor claimed that the question was possibly uncontrolled and “ruthless” measures from CEX there were traded.
“That this happened during low-fluid hours on a Sunday night UTC (early morning asia time) points to a degree of negligence at best, or possibly intentional market positioning taken by centralized exchanges,” he said.
Mullin noted that these exchanges “continue to exert enormously high levels of discretion” and warned that when such powers are used without surveillance, “dislocations such as what recently happened can and will happen, damage both projects and investors.”
If the token, which topped $ 9 earlier this year, dropped from $ 6.3 to as low as $ 0.37 on April 13. At the time of writing, the token has recovered over $ 1.
Mantra was accused of unloading his bag. Mullin, however, denied these claims and emphasized that “this move was not caused by the team, mantra chain association, its nuclear adviser or mantra’s investors.”
Mullin added that all team and investors tokens are still locked according to their publicly revealed earnings schedules. He also claimed that if the token’s basic tokenomics remains unchanged.
Mantra, which recently became the first Defi protocol that is licensed by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (Vara), plans to host a social discussion about X to deal with the latest incident.
The explanation did not facilitate worries in the crypto community. Many still felt that the statement lacked openness. In a follow -up item, Mullin said that the team is working to compile details about the situation.
