🚨 Stanford Just Exposed a Hidden Bitcoin Market Scam
What if I told you some traders allegedly made millions by manipulating Bitcoin… in just the final seconds? 👀
A new study by Stanford University and Singapore Management University uncovered evidence of widespread manipulation in 5-minute Bitcoin prediction markets.
🔍 Here’s what researchers found:
⚠️ 821 suspected manipulators
💰 Allegedly extracted $8.2 million
⏰ Trades were placed in the last few seconds before settlement
📈 Bitcoin’s spot price was briefly pushed to trigger profitable outcomes…
📉 …only to snap back moments later.
The biggest losers?
🚨 Retail traders.
Researchers say this could be largely prevented by:
✅ Extending contracts from 5 minutes to 15 minutes
✅ Using a more robust settlement method instead of relying on a single Chainlink-based price feed.
