Most new token listings show 80% of their volume coming from just two or three market makers who never disclose their positions.
That's the pain of chasing volume that isn't real. You buy thinking there's genuine interest, then the MM tightens the spread just enough to trap you before dumping the rest of their allocation.
Market making should be about providing real liquidity so traders can move in and out of $ETH or $BTC without massive slippage. When those operations stay hidden, they can fabricate order books, run coordinated pumps, and leave retail holding the bag once the volume dries up. I looked at a handful of recent $BNB pairs and the pattern is the same: huge reported volume on day one, then a 60% drop as soon as the undisclosed MM steps back.
Transparency is what actually separates sustainable projects from the ones that rug. If a team won't tell you who is making the market or how much inventory they hold, you're basically gambling on their goodwill. That's a terrible position to be in when the chart starts moving against you.
How much of the volume you see on a typical listing do you actually trust these days?
