Appreciate the warm welcome @bundesblock - excited to be part of it. Looking forward to pushing transparency and accountability in crypto together.

A summary of the RAVE -95% price fluctuation from $26 to $1 over the past 24 hours. RAVE Timeline: April 18, 2026 7:26 am UTC: I posted a call to action for Binance, Bitget, & Gate to investigate RAVE market manipulation and offered a $10K bounty. 10:56 am UTC: I posted an update increasing the bounty to $25K. 11:18 am UTC: Bitget publicly acknowledged the call to action. 2:08 pm UTC: Binance publicly acknowledged the call to action. 3:06 pm UTC: RaveDAO posted claiming they have no involvement. 4:19 pm UTC: Gate publicly acknowledged the call to action. In the days leading up, on April 13 & 14, I confronted RaveDAO co-founder Yemu Xu (wildwoomoo) but have yet to receive an answer. RAVE launched in Dec 2025 on Binance Alpha with a 1B total supply. The addresses below, linked to the initial distribution, control ~95% of the RAVE supply (h/t Mlm): 0x9831156F1a6E506Fca41503590b42F07c2e80f54 0x8Ed6245C3276307E1A9D9Dc872E98A0E770070fd 0x6020656d1EF182173E45D4Fc375BDD5a48c674B0 0x2664cB80a5ee7D8EC05fe7C752dD62E078056E6d 0x2D81F8AeBf3e58A5e638006c9fd8F38C5220ecab 0x31694d761A8e851cFFbCd286aC54D01e5Ce5aFe6 0x0A1F07993a51CcEb4f52CA67765AECeADDA790d7 0xEB74Df8588cFC1C179Df4bd96C0bB8B227B9bE92 0x53d7d52301366DC14E1916b14eFeC1aDD8F3487b I found suspicious CEX activity in April 2026 tied to RaveDAO team addresses onchain, which potentially contradicts their recent statement: Bitget 0x2dc20f2180582172f5450c5d71e23fa438a7031b 0xa3a02aeb97fc1737c66f50d07d024799c137891d 0x2d95eb42525e6087e0cb7869f98da6838ed2e743 Gate 0x31711246b05d71e9eda5e38a3abb654020ee3353 Given the supply concentration, the team at minimum knows who is responsible for this price action. A simple litmus test: $6B in market cap was wiped out on just $52M of 24hr liquidations (h/t CoinGlass). That ratio points to a manipulated and unsustainable valuation. RAVE is not the only token with manipulation we have seen on major centralized exchanges. It's just the most blatant, reaching a top 15 market cap within 10 days before dropping 95% in hours. Other projects with highly questionable price action recently include: SIREN, MYX, COAI, M, PIPPIN, RIVER. Exchanges need faster intervention on manipulation. Detection at scale isn't easy, but each day of delay means retail traders absorb losses while platforms collect fees on the volume. The outcome is the same regardless of intent. While it's good the exchanges responded, I find it unlikely this activity wasn't spotted internally before I raised it publicly. I recognize how much this behavior takes from retail traders, and I plan to investigate similar movements in hopes of identifying the responsible parties. I want to reiterate that I did not take a position. If I had, I would have been liquidated myself. I also could not anticipate if or when the exchanges would comment publicly. My $25K bounty will remain active since the only DMs received were unverified claims rather than non-public information with supporting evidence as requested.

7/7 If you updated to version 2.69, move your funds to a fresh wallet (harware wallet in the best case). We'll continue to monitor related flows and update our findings as more data becomes available.

6/7 Alert ChangeNOW (or other relevant exchanges and service providers if funds passed through) support with full details (TXIDs, addresses). They can flag/freeze suspicious deposits if reported promptly with proof and report to authorities.

1/7 @zachxbt was among the first to publicly call attention to the @TrustWallet browser extension v2.68 incident. He shared early informations and theft addresses, noting that users were being drained across EVM chains, Bitcoin, and Solana, with losses exceeding $6M so far.
