LIBRA TOKEN'S 1.15 BILLION SURGE RIGGED, DWF REPORT SAYS
A scathing report released by the accounting firm Duff & Phelps (DWF) has sparked a fresh wave of controversy surrounding the launch of Facebook's Libra cryptocurrency. The report claims that the token's staggering 1.15 billion percent surge in value was, in fact, rigged.
The investigation, which was commissioned by the Libra Association, a consortium of companies and organizations backing the project, suggests that a small group of whales manipulated the market to inflate the token's value. The report alleges that these whales, who are believed to be a combination of institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, used sophisticated trading strategies to artificially drive up the price of Libra.
The report's findings are based on an analysis of trading data and market trends, as well as interviews with key players in the Libra ecosystem. According to DWF, the whales in question were able to exploit a combination of factors, including the token's limited supply, the enthusiasm of early adopters, and the lack of regulatory oversight, to create a self-reinforcing market bubble.
The controversy surrounding Libra's launch has been well-documented, with many experts and investors expressing concerns about the token's lack of transparency and the potential for market manipulation. The DWF report's findings are likely to fuel these concerns, and could have significant implications for the project's future.
Facebook, which is one of the largest backers of the Libra project, has yet to comment on the report's findings. The Libra Association has also been contacted for comment, but has so far remained silent.
The controversy surrounding Libra's launch is a major setback for the project, which was already facing significant regulatory hurdles. The token's value has plummeted in recent weeks, and many experts are questioning whether the project will be able to recover from this latest blow.
