24 % of the new tokens in 2022 were probably pump-and-dump schemes: report
A current study by the blockchain analysis company Chainalysis showed that 24 % of the tokens introduced in 2022 showed the characteristics of pump-and-dump schemes.
Most tokens crashed by 90 % in the first week of their introduction after their creators had given up their stocks. According to Chainalysis, this is a typical feature of a pump-and-dump schemas.
Over 9,000 new tokens in 2022 were fraudulent
crypto-pump-and-dump schemes include the creators of a digital asset that exaggerates and promotes the token, often with misleading statements, which would lead to the price of quickly shooting when new investors join the project. The Creators would then sell their stocks and accumulate profits, while the price of the tokens drops and investors are stuck with low -value assets.
According to the Report , over 1.1 million new tokens were introduced to Ethereum and BNB in 2022. After the evaluation of the projects with criteria of 10 minimum swaps and four consecutive trading days a week after their start, Chainalysis found that only 40,521 token won.
among the 40,521 tokens that won on the drive, the price of 9,902 (24 %) decreased significantly in the first week after the start and showed traith down that this would be possible Pump-and-Dump activity. A price drop of 90 % or more is a clear sign that the creators of the tokens have quickly unloaded their stocks.
chain analysis pointed out the possibility that market forces could influence the price movement of the tokens, despite so many efforts by the teams.
While the advertising strategy for such tokens remains uncertain, chain analysis used an evaluation service to evaluate new tokens on a scale from zero to 100 based on their trustworthiness. All 25 that were evaluated scored zero points, which indicates that it was most likely to be pump-and-dump systems.
Victim invested $ 4.6 billion in pump-and-dump programs
In addition, the blockchain analysis company revealed that the victims of the pump-and-dump schemes spent around 4.6 billion US dollars on crypto and stay on them. In comparison, the makers made $ 30 million after the sale of their holdings.
An on-chain pattern also indicated that the Wallets involved in the schemes share common property.
