Solidus Labs research finds $2 billion in deceptive wash trading activities across Ethereum-based decentralized exchanges.

Solidus Labs의 조사에 따르면 이더리움 기반 분산형 거래소에서 기만적인 워시 트레이딩 활동이 20억 달러에 달하는 것으로 나타났습니다.

Newly released data from Solidus Labs, a crypto trade surveillance and risk monitoring platform, indicates that a staggering $2 billion worth of crypto assets has been wash-traded on Ethereum-based decentralized exchanges (DEXs) since 2020.

The report casts a spotlight on the pervasive but preventable issue of market manipulation in the world of decentralized finance (defi).

Tracing the pattern: Wash trades and manipulated crypto pools

Wash trade is a malicious tactic where traders place both buy and sell orders with themselves to artificially influence the market. Of roughly 30,000 DEX liquidity pools studied, Solidus Labs identified a striking 67% where wash trading had been conducted. In these manipulated pools, wash trading comprised 16% of the total trade volume.

The report also shows how wash trading was used by scammers to lure investors into rug pull projects.

One particularly glaring example involved a meme token dubbed “SHIBAFARM.” The token was launched in mid-2021 when the meme coin hype was off the charts. As Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) were also soaring at that time, the project used FOMO to attract investors.

특히 눈에 띄는 사례 중 하나는 "SHIBAFARM"이라는 밈 토큰과 관련이 있습니다. 이 토큰은 밈 코인의 과대광고가 차트에서 벗어났던 2021년 중반에 출시되었습니다. 당시 시바견(SHIB)과 도지코인(DOGE)도 급등하고 있었기 때문에 프로젝트는 FOMO를 활용해 투자자를 유치했다.

Solidus Labs found that a network of related wallets artificially inflated the token’s value, luring unsuspecting investors before suddenly pulling the plug, netting a profit of over $2 million.

The findings of the report are especially concerning given the growing prominence of defi, which often operates in less regulated spaces than traditional financial markets.
