An analysis has emerged that distrust is spreading across the entire virtual asset (cryptocurrency) market-making structure following the token crash of Movement (MOVE) and MANTRA (OM).

On the 17th, the virtual asset specialized media CoinDesk reported, "In both projects, insider trading with market makers, opaque lock-up structures, and circumstances of decentralization autonomous organization (DAO) proposal nullification were revealed belatedly during the rapid price decline. Trust in market making is shaking." In fact, last month, OM tokens plummeted by over 90% within hours as tens of millions of the tokens were dumped on the market in a short time.

Hong Kong-based market-making firm Metalfa stated, "Currently, we are strengthening education from the initial consultation stage with projects and redesigning the structure to emphasize long-term alignment and ethical mechanisms rather than short-term performance," adding, "The era of starting trades based solely on reputation is over." It is analyzed that the trust in the liquidity supply system itself is shaking as cases like forced liquidation, secret contracts, and unofficial distribution are revealed.

Min Jung, an analyst at Presto Research, also pointed out, "Some tokens like MOVE, OM, and LAYER are actively traded in the secondary over-the-counter (OTC) market, causing distortion of supply and price signals."

The media stated, "Early distribution and undisclosed contracts in the OTC market make it more difficult to predict the distribution volume," emphasizing, "The real risk that market makers face now is not price volatility, but the inability to trust the supply volume stated in the white paper."
