The next frontier of market abuse is here - faster, coordinated, and built for multi-chain markets
Crypto pump-and-dump schemes have evolved into high-velocity, Telegram-coordinated manipulation rings that deploy sniper bots, deployer-controlled liquidity, meme-driven hype cycles, and cross-chain mobility to extract illicit profits at extraordinary speed — all while leaving exchanges, regulators, and investors behind.
What’s Inside
- A rare inside look at PumpCell - a degen Telegram ring coordinating real-time pump-and-dump campaigns across Solana and BSC.
- Breakdowns of selected pump events - showing how fake narratives, sniper bots, deployer-controlled liquidity, and hype cycles drove rapid price spikes and illicit profits.
- Why crypto pump-and-dumps operate differently than TradFi - AMMs, bots, and cross-chain mobility.
- What effective supervision now requires - real-time analytics, behavioral clustering, cross-chain tracing, and unified visibility across on- and off-chain flows.
Why you should read this report
This report is essential reading for:
- Compliance and surveillance teams at centralized exchanges (CEXs)
seeking to detect coordinated pump-and-dump activity, cross-chain mobility, and bot-driven manipulation. - Risk, AML, and fraud leaders
responsible for mitigating abuse that exploits visibility gaps across chains, wallets, and social channels. - Regulators and VASP supervisors
Looking to understand how modern, multi-chain manipulation schemes operate and where legacy controls fall short. - Investigators and market-integrity units
looking to trace illicit flows, reconstruct manipulation lifecycles, and uncover coordinated wallet behavior. - Executives modernizing market-surveillance infrastructure
evaluating real-time analytics, AMM-aware detection, and unified on/off-chain visibility for next-generation oversight.
