Market makers, such as #Wintermute , provide liquidity by setting buy and sell prices. Potential manipulation tactics include spoofing (fake orders to mislead), wash trading (self-trading to increase volume), creating sell walls to lower prices, or using arbitrage between exchanges. There are allegations (for example, coordinated dumps with Binance according to reports for 2025), but guilt is not confirmed. Always conduct your own research.
