RAVE Token Collapse Amid Exchange Investigations
RaveDAO's RAVE token experienced a dramatic collapse, plunging from $27.33 to $1.15 in less than 48 hours due to ongoing investigations by Binance and Bitget. This sharp decline erased over $5 billion in market capitalization and raised questions about potential insider trading, given that nearly 90% of RAVE's supply was controlled by just three wallets.
