Cryptocurrency market is rocked by the dramatic crash of Mantra’s $OM token, which plummeted over 90% in a single day, dropping from $6.30 to under $0.50 and erasing billions from its $6 billion market capitalization.
Unlike the LUNA crash, where most traders avoided closing positions due to limited exposure to LUNA or its ecosystem tokens, the OM crash appears to have been driven by what Mantra’s team described as “reckless forced liquidations” on centralized exchanges, though some social media posts speculate about deeper issues like market manipulation or team-controlled supply.
The $LUNA crash serves as a historical parallel. Before its collapse, LUNA boasted a $40 billion market cap, which shrank to $200 million, triggering a chain reaction that saw most cryptocurrencies lose 50% or more of their value.
The OM crash, while significant, has not yet shown the same market-wide devastation, with Bitcoin remaining stable above $84,000. However, the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector, where OM operates, saw a 44.93% drop in 24 hours, indicating a targeted impact.
Could OM’s crash lead to a broader crypto market collapse today? With a pre-crash market cap of $6 billion—smaller than LUNA’s at its peak—OM’s influence is less pervasive. Still, its collapse highlights vulnerabilities in projects with concentrated token control or heavy leverage.
A market-wide crash seems unlikely unless larger assets like $BTC or Ethereum falter, but investor confidence could take a hit, especially in #RWA tokens. The crypto market’s resilience will depend on broader economic factors, like tariff-driven volatility, and whether projects like OM can rebuild trust.

🚨 Binance Pushes for Compliance Relief Amid Trump-Linked Stablecoin Deal 💥🇺🇸
In April 2025, Binance executives reportedly met with U.S. Treasury officials seeking to remove or reduce a compliance monitor placed after their 2023 guilty plea on anti-money-laundering violations. At the same time, Binance was in talks with World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm now controlled by the Trump family.
💵 Key Highlights:
World Liberty Financial is launching a new stablecoin — USD1, backed by short-term U.S. Treasurys & USD deposits.
The token will be issued on Ethereum and Binance’s blockchain.
Binance's compliance request overlaps with this potentially lucrative partnership.
⚠️ Why it matters:
Critics are raising red flags 🚩 about conflicts of interest, as the Trump family holds major financial stakes in WLF — while the administration is simultaneously rolling back crypto regulations.
🧠 This intersection of political power, financial influence, and crypto regulation could shape the industry’s future — for better or worse.

1) Sherpas, OMies, and broader crypto community,
First off, the team and I greatly appreciate the support that we have received over the past several hours, which we believe is a testament to the strong support MANTRA has among its investors and community.
We have determined that the OM market movements were triggered by reckless forced closures initiated by centralized exchanges on OM account holders. The timing and depth of the crash suggest that a very sudden closure of account positions was initiated without sufficient warning or notice.
That this happened during low-liquidity hours on a Sunday evening UTC (early morning Asia time) points to a degree of negligence at best, or possibly intentional market positioning taken by centralized exchanges.
Centralized exchange partners play an important role in providing liquidity to projects like ours. We work closely with them, however they continue to exercise enormously high levels of discretion. When discretionary powers are exercised without due internal and external oversight, dislocations like what recently happened can and will occur, hurting both projects and investors alike.
To be clear, this dislocation was not caused by the team, the MANTRA Chain Association, its core advisors, or MANTRA’s investors selling tokens. Tokens remain locked and subject to the published vesting periods. OM’s tokenomics remain intact, as shared last week in our latest token report. Our token wallet addresses are online and visible.
$OM Tanks 90%: Another Crypto Disaster Like LUNA? 😱
The OM token, tied to a project called MANTRA, took a brutal 90% dive on April 13, 2025, wiping out over $6 billion in value in just 30 minutes.. In just 30 minutes, over $6 billion in value vanished, dropping the price from $7 to $0.50. It all started when a big chunk of $OM (3.9 million tokens) was sent to the OKX exchange, sparking fears of a dump since the MANTRA team controls 90% of the tokens. Things were already shaky—MANTRA had messed up an airdrop a month earlier by blacklisting half the wallets without proof, plus there were sketchy moves like secret tokenomics changes and rumors of private deals selling tokens at huge discounts. Panic set in, people sold off fast, and the price crashed hard. To make it worse, MANTRA’s Telegram group got deleted, and the team went silent, leaving investors clueless. The post compares this to the 2022 Terra-LUNA crash, warning about the dangers of projects with too much team control and no transparency.
Man, this OM crash is a total mess—it’s like watching a crypto horror movie! The team holding 90% of the tokens is a massive red flag; they basically had the power to tank the whole thing, and it looks like they did. The airdrop drama and sneaky tokenomics changes just scream “shady,” and when the crash hit, their silence made it even worse. It’s giving me LUNA vibes all over again, and honestly, it’s a wake-up call. If you’re jumping into crypto, you gotta dig deep into who’s running the show and how open they are—otherwise, you might wake up with your wallet empty like these $OM investors did!
This is insane!

2) MANTRA is a project that has survived and operated throughout multiple market cycles. When others stopped building, we kept going. This is no exception. As our recent suite of announcements indicate - from being the first DeFi protocol licensed by Dubai’s VARA, to integrations and initiatives that will broaden and strengthen our ecosystem, we’re committed to our community and we’re here for the long term.
In the coming hours, we will host a community connect on X, to discuss these events further. Please do NOT click on any scam links or accounts pretending to be affiliated with MANTRA. All official communications will ONLY come from my personal account or the main MANTRA X account.
MANTRA ответила на обвал: “Проект остаётся устойчивым”
Команда MANTRA заявила, что резкое падение цены OM связано с массовыми ликвидациями и не имеет отношения к действиям проекта.
Однако, согласно данным ончейн-аналитики, за ~25 минут до начала обвала несколько крупных кошельков — предположительно связанных с командой или ранними инвесторами — начали активно распродавать токен на Binance.
Дополнительно в блокчейне зафиксировано резкое увеличение предложения OM: общее количество токенов удвоилось. Команда MANTRA пока не прокомментировала этот факт.
Также в сети всплыли старые сведения о проекте. В 2021 году Mantra обвиняли в сокрытии связей с онлайн-казино и введении сообщества в заблуждение заявлениями о якобы поддержке FTX.
Binance выпустила заявление о том, что в отношении $OM были применены меры по контролю рисков.
CZ заявил, что он больше не управляет биржей, но считает, что ни централизованные, ни децентрализованные платформы не должны фильтровать листинги, а предоставлять доступ ко всем токенам.

😐️ Mantra CEO: “The sharp decline in the value of OM was due to forced liquidations initiated by centralized exchanges without warning.”
"This happened during a period of low liquidity, which could indicate negligence or even deliberate actions by the exchanges."
- “The Mantra team and investors did not sell tokens - all tokens are locked and subject to vesting, information about this is public.”
▫️ Lookonchain: Before the #OM dump, 17 wallets transferred 43,600,000 tokens (4.5% of the total supply) to exchanges.
Two of these wallets are linked to Laser Digital, a strategic investor in Mantra.
▫️Back in 2021, it was reported that the Mantra team included several online casino owners. Moreover, the project misled the community by claiming to have received investments from FTX .
▫️ Binance: A number of measures have already been taken to control the risks associated with OM, and the exchange representatives will continue to closely monitor the situation.”
▫️ OKX CEO: "OM's collapse is a big scandal for the entire crypto industry. OKX exchange will prepare all reports."
▫️ Changpeng Zhao: “I no longer run Binance, but I believe that CEX and DEX should not select tokens for listing - there should be access to all tokens in the universe.”
