What is market manipulation in Crypto?

$ALPACA has increased 10 times in just 3 days after the delisting announcement from Binance.

But here’s the surprise: There was no major update or information from the project.

Delisting usually causes prices to drop, not increase.

When the delist announcement was made, $ALPACA had a market capitalization of under 5 million USD.

Now, it has reached a market cap of 40 million USD with 300 million USD in trading volume.

Small-cap tokens are very easy to manipulate like this.
