Token dump following Binance listing raises insider trading suspicions

Image
Coinbase director Conor Grogan speculated it could be either a rogue employee or a trader who might have access to the losing API. Insider trading has become a burning topic in the crypto ecosystem, especially in light of the recent conviction of an ex-Coinbase manager’s brother. The insider trading charges were believed to be the first involving cryptocurrency, and now another set of wallet addresses with transaction history linked to Binance listings has raised suspicion. Conor Grogan, director of Coinbase, took to Twitter to flag the transaction activity of a few anonymous wallets over the past 18 months. The anonymous wallets allegedly bought multiple unlisted tokens minutes before their listing announcement on Binance and dumped them right after the announcement. The first such instance came in the form of Rar tokens where one of these wallets bought $900,000 in Rari seconds before and dumped them minutes after listing . It appears that there is a pattern of Binance front-runni...

Did Magical Thinking Born of Financial Crisis Fuel Rise of Crypto – Was it Actually Realistic Thinking?

Image
Source: AdobeStock / Sherrod Photography Cryptocurrencies are "a manifestation of a magical thinking" born out of a financial crisis, said a finance professor. But there could be something very real behind it. Though not intentionally, the professor may have made a case for the 'financial crisis' being ever-present as cracks in the system persist.  In his opinion for The New York Times, Mihir A. Desai,  a professor at Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School, writes that, "All those new investors and crypto owners may nurse a grudge against capitalism, rather than understand the perverse world they were born into." There were mistakes and mediocrities made during a period of declining and zero-interest rates, and these were obscured or forgiven, said Desai, "while speculative assets with low probabilities of far-off success inflated in value enormously."  In these situations, there are "hawkers pitching shiny new ve...
