There are often “yao coins” scams going around, and this year there are especially many—$BANK
Starting from Binance Alpha, after that, market makers have targeted the price-manipulation playbook behind the Alpha + contracts to lure investors
The trading interface used by the operator has a few common characteristics
1、First stage: slowly accumulating
The coin price moves sideways for a long time—doesn’t really go up, and it doesn’t crash hard either. It drags on and on. Most retail traders can’t hold on; they think
there’s no action, so they sell it off. The operator is quietly
collecting chips underneath,
at the lowest possible price, accumulating
as many coins as
needed. They won’t let the price
rise noticeably
2、Second stage: pull up to create the “making money” effect
Once the operator has collected enough chips, they start making big purchases
to violently drive the coin price up. At the same time, they coordinate with
community influencers and posts to advertise everywhere, telling
stories and blowing positive news. Watching
the daily massive rallies, many people nearby
post profit screenshots.
Large numbers of
retail traders can’t resist and
rush in at the high point to chase the rally
3、Third stage: keep rising while quietly distributing
Many people think it will continue to double again, and that the operator
won’t crash it all at once. During the rally to new highs,
bit by bit, they sell off a large amount of chips
to retail traders who entered chasing the price. The trading volume
suddenly increases dramatically—that’s when
big players are escaping
4、Fourth stage: smash the market directly to complete the harvest
Once they’ve sold off most of what they’re holding, they
stop supporting the price and no longer prop it up. After that, there’s a
cliff-like drop in the coin price—
in just a few minutes it can fall
by dozens of points. By the time
retail traders react, they’re already
deeply trapped. Even if they want to cut losses,
it’s hard to sell out
5、Fifth stage: grind lower to lock people in
After the crash, there may occasionally be a small rebound,
giving those who are trapped a bit of hope, making them feel
it could still go back up. The price repeatedly
shakes back and forth. Slowly, it wears you down until you either
cut your losses at a low price
or get trapped for the long term
In short:
First, use explosive rallies to grab attention so everyone thinks they can get rich quickly.
Once a large amount of capital moves in,
the operator sells all the chips to retail traders.
Then they exit the market with a single wave of
a massive drop. Small-cap
coins don’t have strong fundamentals—
market moves rely entirely on
capital pushing. The hype comes fast, and
the crash often happens in an instant
