DWF Dismisses Market Manipulation Allegations
DWF has quickly responded to allegations made by Wintermute in Singapore2049, denying any involvement in market manipulation. This ongoing feud between the two major players in crypto markets has seen Wintermute accuse DWF of spreading false information through the media. Wintermute claims that instead of providing liquidity, DWF is manipulating markets.
Disagreements Over OTC Transactions
Wintermute disagrees with DWF’s portrayal of its over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, arguing that they are falsely declared as transactions rather than investments. However, a DWF Labs executive has refuted these accusations, stating that the company is not engaged in any manipulation. They attribute the anomalies in token prices to market dynamics and emphasize that their investment strategy involves hedging positions using the futures market.
DWF’s Investment Strategy
DWF Labs specializes in dual market-making and invests in various projects. They have supported projects such as Fetch.ai, Synthetix, Flare Network, Coin98, Yield Guild Games (YGG), TON, Conflux, Mask Network, among others. The executive from DWF Labs explains that their investment approach is driven by market risks and the potential for crashes in the crypto market.
The 3.3 Billion SPELL Transaction
In a recent transaction, DWF received approximately 3.3 billion SPELL tokens worth $1.57 million from Abracadabra – Money’s MIM Treasury Wallet. Following this, DWF made a test deposit of 1,000 SPELL tokens to Binance Crypto Exchange. Subsequently, another two billion SPELL tokens were sent to the Binance Wallet, totaling 2,000,000,1000 SPELL tokens.
Predictions and Speculation
These rapid events have sparked discussions, with some suggesting that this could be a strategic move to attract short positions and create a price pump. However, the true motives behind these transactions remain unclear.
