After a 300-fold increase, a 95% flash crash occurred. What happened to the 'RWA Demon Coin' OM?
In the early morning, the RWA sector project MANTRA (OM) plummeted 90% in a short time, crashing from $6 to $0.5, with a market value evaporating over $5.5 billion.
Three hours later, the MANTRA team released a statement saying that the drop was due to irrational liquidations and was unrelated to the project itself, asserting that it was not the team's doing.
Subsequently, OM rose from around $0.5 to $1.2, briefly going short. Within just four hours, the liquidation amount of OM contracts reached $58 million.
Before this crash, OM had gone through several violent surges since last November, being referred to by the community as 'strongly controlled demon coin.'
