LAB (LAB)

Dear Community, - One month ago, PiggyBank got into a new position for $100k (~2% of the portfolio at the time), as part of the strategy’s scope of deploying into mid-cap basis trades. - The strategy involved purchasing locked $LAB tokens at a significant discount through a Tier-1 OTC desk and hedging that exposure through perpetual shorts. During the holding period, $LAB experienced violent manipulation, including chaotic price movements on thin liquidity, and deeply negative funding rates. - Maintaining the hedge became economically irrational and would have caused us to cross our risk thresholds. We therefore decided to close our short to cap the downside. - In accounting terms, the total value of our $LAB locked position is $1.35m at current prices. However, due to the illiquid nature of this position, Piggybank is excluding it from the NAV until the first unlock on August 14. Even though this is an evolving situation that could still generate substantial returns, this is the fairest and most transpar

This feels wrong on so many levels. @piggybank_fi used a 'Long Spot / Short Perp' strategy, but not the way you should and how they explain in their own documentation. The result: Heavy losses (with the exact outcome yet to be known). This is my breakdown of the situation 👇 ▶️ WHAT HAPPENED? Piggybank invested $100,000 (approximately 2% of its portfolio at the time) in a mid-cap basis trade. However, instead of buying the underlying asset on the liquid market, it acquired locked $LAB tokens at a discount through an OTC (over-the-counter) desk. A perpetual short position was opened as a hedge. The problem: The $LAB token experienced severe price manipulation, low liquidity, and deeply negative funding rates. This made maintaining the short position (hedge) too expensive and "economically irrational." Piggybank had to close the short position to limit the risk of further losses. However, since the purchased $LAB tokens are locked until August 14, the spot position could not be sold at the same time. Pigg

. @zachxbt has increased his bounty to $100k for any off-chain information linked to the recent token manipulation across cexs in may alone, around $200M was liquidated on $LAB perps, with similar hundreds of millions wiped out across $RAVE, $SIREN & other tokens hoping others contribute to the bounty as well so we can reduce the scale & intensity of these manipulations across cexs

The only hope is a 4‑hour cloud... It needs to rise within 1‑2 days, otherwise it's tough Daily support is already far away. I don't trade such coins, but you can follow the ones you hold. Currently in a downtrend, the most sensible thing is to take profit on Bitcoin and, after the market stabilizes, chase trades in altcoins.. $LAB

A cluster of addresses is ruining crypto. They are responsible for the manipulation of multiple tokens you've seen in your feed: LAB, EDGE, SIREN, RAVE, and BULLA. They only need a token with these features: • A high percentage of the supply locked • Listed on Binance Alpha • Listed on Binance Perpetuals • Low on-chain liquidity My theory (backed by data) on these crazy schemes🧵
