What was recently seen as a bipartisan effort is currently facing political headwinds,…

Opinion: Tracy Jin, Chief Operating Officer, MEXCMarket operations are everywhere, but we can’t see them anywhere yet. This is an invisible threat that affects crypto and traditional markets, with regular traders counting costs. Sometimes the operation is obvious – the illiquid token is pumped high before being discarded just as quickly as possible – but in many cases it is subtle and more difficult to detect.What is even more concerning is that these schemes are no longer in the realm of fraudulent whales and amateur pump groups. The signs increasingly point to coordinating centralized exchanges, derivative platforms, and highly organized,…
