Crypto’s transparency reveals market manipulation that traditional finance hides. Century-old laws riddled with loopholes enable unpunished manipulation. Opinion by: Nic Puckrin, founder of CoinBureau The largest liquidation event in the history of the crypto market, which wiped out at least $19 billion in long positions after US President Donald Trump announced punitive tariffs on China late on Oct. 10, exposed an ugly side of this nascent market: its vulnerability to insider trading.
