RAVE CRYPTO UNDER INVESTIGATION.
🔴 Exchange Investigations
Major exchanges including Binance, OKX, and Bitget launched internal reviews and investigations into the token's trading activity following the manipulation claims. OKX even funded a bounty for whistleblowers. This caused immediate panic, as traders feared the token might be delisted or that their funds could be frozen during the probe.
🔴 Structural "Low-Float" Risks
The tokenomics of RAVE were a major red flag:
Circulating Supply: Only about 24.8% of the 1 billion total supply was actually in the market.
The "Whale" Threat: A single suspected whale wallet held approximately 750 million RAVE. When a token has such low "float" (available supply) and high concentration, even a single large sale can cause the price to crater instantly because there isn't enough liquidity to absorb the sell order.
🔴Liquidation Cascade
As the price started to slip from its $27 peak, it triggered a "long squeeze." Many traders were using high leverage (borrowed funds) to bet on the price going higher. When the price dropped, their positions were automatically liquidated (forced to sell), which pushed the price down even faster, creating a "death spiral" of selling.
