Pump-and-dump schemes are common frauds in the cryptocurrency market, where prices are artificially inflated to lure investors before the perpetrators sell off their holdings, causing prices to crash. To spot these schemes early, watch for unusual spikes in trading volume and heightened activity on social media, indicating potential coordinated manipulation. Be cautious of projects lacking credible teams or solid foundations, as well as aggressive marketing tactics promising unrealistic returns. Other red flags include anonymous developers and vague roadmaps. If you notice a rapid price increase followed by a steep decline, it’s likely a pump-and-dump. Staying informed can help you avoid these deceptive practices. What strategies do you use to identify potential pump-and-dump schemes?
