🥊 OKX accuses MANTRA of manipulating the OM token (twitter) The exchange denied statements made by MANTRA and outlined its position: ➥ A group of related accounts used large volumes of OM as collateral, borrowing USDT and artificially accelerating the price of the token.

➥ The OKX risk team recorded anomalies and requested corrective action, but was denied.

➥ After taking control of the accounts, the price of OM collapsed, with OKX liquidating only a minimal portion of the positions.

➥ All losses were fully covered by the OKX Security Fund.

➥ Independent analyzes indicate that the main collapse occurred in perpetual futures on other exchanges.

➥ The origin of large volumes of OM and the concentration of supply in a narrow group have never been explained.

➥ Evidence has already been submitted to regulators, and legal proceedings are underway.Previously: OM migration/ticker change

🇻🇪 Venezuela is a clear example of how cryptocurrencies can move from an experiment to real financial infrastructure. Against hyperinflation, sanctions, and a crisis of confidence in banks, digital assets—mainly stablecoins—took on the core functions of money: transfers, payments, and savings. This isn’t about trading or market growth; it’s about keeping financial processes alive when the traditional system stops working. Venezuela’s experience shows that crypto is being used not out of curiosity, but out of necessity. 🧬 decenter.org/venezuela-crypto

🗣 Bitmine, the CEO of #ETH, says Bitmine owns about 4% of the total ETH supply and has no plans to sell it.
