OM (MANTRA) Crashes 92% Instantly: What Triggered the Meltdown?
Body:
Today, OM (MANTRA) sent shockwaves through the crypto world with a staggering -92% crash—dropping from over $6 to just $0.45 in a single candle.
But this wasn’t just a random market move. Here's what really happened:
1. The Genesis Airdrop – A Quiet Catalyst
On March 18, 2025, Mantra quietly moved up the date for its Genesis Airdrop & Incentivized Testnet. Originally scheduled for March 23, the early distribution likely flooded wallets with tokens ahead of time.
2. Token Unlock Timing – Was This a Coordinated Dump?
Despite the earlier announcement, the actual token drop appears to have happened recently—possibly even today. With little transparency on lock-up periods or vesting, it created the perfect storm for whales and early testers to cash out fast.
3. Thin Liquidity Meets Panic – A Flash Crash Unfolds
With no significant buy wall, the sell-off cascaded. Stop-losses triggered, fear kicked in, and the price spiraled—culminating in one of the most brutal single-candle crashes we've seen.
