“A lot of [token] projects are fooling their own trader community or investors by faking these wash trades or these volumes. They give legitimate market makers a bad name. Still, global regulatory developments are progressively making it more difficult for such businesses to thrive." says Mathias Beke, Kairon Labs Co-Founder and CTO. Crypto market-making involves several ethical considerations that uphold market integrity. With recent crackdowns on dodgy firms, it’s especially important for projects to determine what separates legitimate market makers from unethical ones.

Sinister Reality of Crypto Exchanges:  A Dark Web of Deception Crypto exchanges—supposedly the gateways to financial freedom and decentralization—are, in reality, the sinister playgrounds of hidden forces manipulating your every move. This chilling revelation will make you question everything you thought you knew about crypto exchanges. 🕵️♂️💀 Hidden Agenda of Crypto Exchanges 1. Puppet Masters:   - Behind the sleek interfaces and user-friendly dashboards, crypto exchanges are controlled by a covert alliance known as "The Enclave." These puppet masters pull the strings, manipulating prices, freezing accounts, and orchestrating flash crashes to siphon wealth from unsuspecting investors. 2. Surveillance and Control:   - Every trade you make, every token you buy, is meticulously monitored. Exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken aren't just trading platforms—they're surveillance machines feeding data to The Enclave, who use this information to predict and preempt market movements to their advantage. Strategies of Deception 1.Wash Trading:   - Ever noticed those inexplicable price spikes and drops? That's wash trading—fake transactions designed to create the illusion of activity and manipulate asset prices. This tactic to lure you into buying high and selling low, maximizing their gains at your expense. 2. Token Listings:   - New tokens listed on major exchanges often skyrocket in value, only to plummet shortly after. This pump-and-dump scheme is orchestrated by The Enclave, who profit massively by dumping their pre-acquired tokens onto naive investors, leaving them with worthless assets. 3. Withdrawal Freezes:   - In moments of market volatility, exchanges conveniently "experience technical issues" that prevent withdrawals. This isn't a coincidence—it's a calculated move to trap your funds and control liquidity during critical periods. The Psychological Warfare 1. Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD):   - The spreads FUD through social media, fake news, and insider leaks. This psychological warfare is designed to trigger panic selling and market instability, which they exploit to buy assets at rock-bottom prices. 2. False Promises of Decentralization:   - Despite their claims, most crypto exchanges are centralized entities, concentrating power and control in the hands of a few. This centralization is a direct contradiction to the decentralized ethos of the crypto movement and a blatant deception.
