Why did Tellor’s (TRB) price spike?

WuBlockchain reported that TRB has recorded the highest liquidation among cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours, amounting to $60 million.

The crypto community is expressing skepticism about the abrupt surge in TRB, raising concerns about potential manipulation. A user on CoinMarketCap, going by the nickname bo, found it suspicious that the coin’s market capitalization increased by $570 million in a single day, coupled with a daily volume of $590 million.

Reddit users also thought it seemed like manipulation. Some said they didn’t know much about the project. A user named elongated_longcat mentioned that the team sold all their tokens when prices dropped, a few big investors bought up most of the supply, and someone trying to sell off part of their holdings got caught in a difficult situation.

Crypto trader Satoshi Flipper also suggested that it might be a pump-and-dump scenario. He also reached out to the community and asked “Can ya’ll stop fomoing please?”.

Another trader, Blockchainedbb, suggested that Binance might be responsible for the dumping of TRB.
