With a market cap of only $35 million, in general, if a market maker wants to control a coin like this, they only need trading capital equal to one-eighth of the market cap—about $4.5 million. To push it to double is also fairly easy. This coin is “pulled up” once every quarter, completely and entirely a market-maker coin.
