The post OKX Exposes OM Manipulation Scheme appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
OKX found clear evidence that multiple accounts were working together to use large OM holdings as collateral to borrow USDT and artificially push up the price of MANTRA OM. The exchange’s risk systems detected the activity early, and after the accounts failed to cooperate, OKX stepped in and took control. A sudden price crash followed, leading to major losses that were fully covered by OKX’s Security Fund. All evidence has been shared with regulators and law enforcement, and several lawsuits are now ongoing, with third party data suggesting external perpetuals trading triggered the crash.
