Bitget launches probe into RAVE Token manipulation, Anndy Lian flags

Bitget has started an investigation after allegations of insider manipulation of the RAVE Token surfaced. Intergovernmental Blockchain Advisor Anndy Lian flagged warning signs early, highlighting concerns on his spaces and again on 14 April due to persistent irregularities. Lian publicly urged for greater scrutiny following new exposures by blockchain investigator ZachXBT.

Lian has previously commented on shifts in the crypto market, noting a 0.57 percent rise driven by Ethereum following Solana asset swaps. He also addressed new regulation, describing how a stablecoin yield ban deal cleared the way for a key crypto law in April. These earlier warnings and updates form part of Lian’s ongoing commentary on digital asset activity and oversight.

Bitget Investigates After ZachXBT Exposes RAVE Token Insider Manipulation

Bitget Investigates After ZachXBT Exposes RAVE Token Insider Manipulation

One of crypto’s most trusted on-chain investigators just called out a textbook pump and dump, and this time, major exchanges are named.

ZachXBT posted publicly that pump and dump activity for RAVE token originated on Bitget, Binance and Gate, with insiders controlling over 90% of supply. He called on Binance co-founder He Yi and Bitget CEO Gracy Chen to launch internal investigations and offboard the responsible actors.

He offered a $10,000 personal bounty for whistleblowers. Chen responded soon: “Thanks for highlighting! We’ve started investigating into $RAVE.”

How the Manipulation Worked

The setup was deliberate. Wallets linked to the RaveDAO deployer transferred 18.58 million RAVE tokens to Bitget before the pump began – with no announcement and no disclosure. The price was still below $0.50.

Ten hours later, the rally started.

With 74% of traders on Binance holding short positions, insiders then withdrew 29.78 million tokens from Bitget – draining exchange selling pressure entirely. The resulting short squeeze sent RAVE from $0.27 to over $14 in seven days, a gain of more than 5,500%.

ZachXBT had previously reached out to RaveDAO’s co-founder before posting publicly. He was left on read.

The Red Flags Were There

Intergovernmental Blockchain Advisor Anndy Lian flagged the warning signs clearly. The top 10 wallets hold 98.16% of total supply. Only 24-25% of the one billion token supply is in circulation. The fully diluted valuation sits at roughly four times the current market cap – a ratio that historically precedes 40-60% retracements. There is no public codebase and no completed security audit.

The project’s backer list is striking: World Liberty Financial, Warner Music Group, Tomorrowland, and YZi Labs – a Web3 incubator with former Binance staff. None of that changes what the on-chain data shows.

“We cannot allow this blatant market manipulation by insiders controlling more than 90% RAVE support to further extract from retail investors,” ZachXBT wrote.

Bitget has confirmed its investigation is underway. Binance and Gate have not yet responded publicly.

Anndy Lian warns of cryptocurrency market manipulation

Anndy Lian warns of cryptocurrency market manipulation

Anndy Lian, a notable figure in the cryptocurrency scene, has raised concerns about manipulation in the market. In a recent tweet, he criticized influencers who engage in over-the-counter (OTC) deals without actual trading experience.

Lian emphasized the lack of genuine involvement by these personalities, suggesting that their actions contribute to a manipulated market landscape. His statement reflects a growing scrutiny over the integrity of influence within the crypto sector.

This comes amid increasing debates about transparency and ethical practices in digital currency trading, where credible knowledge and direct market involvement are seen as crucial for fostering trust and legitimacy.

 

 

Lian’s critique joins a broader conversation on market security and confidence, areas he has addressed extensively. His prior recommendations on the use of cold wallets for safeguarding crypto assets underscore an ongoing concern for user protection. Additionally, his perspective on BNB as a proxy for confidence in crypto infrastructure highlights the importance of trustworthy market participants in sustaining industry stability amid persistent challenges around transparency and ethical conduct.
