You might wanna google what a market maker actually does, this is one of the worst pieces I have ever read, “they come from finance, I come from cyber security”
Please stay there too

@HuobiGlobal
recent attempts at wash trading have been one of the most obvious I have ever seen.
Let us look at their embarrassing attempt on 2022-12-06 at 23:11:00, where they artificially pumped their volume by over 1000% on ETH & BTC.
I will only cover ETH in this thread.
Don't want to shill my own bags too much, but for years, crypto has been pumping on the rumours of anything related to Walmart & now its been made official that
@pudgypenguins
toys will be sold in Walmart & the price has barely moved.

Giving an airdrop allocation to discord members is extremely cringe.
If u want this, sure I will write a bot and represent 10-50k unique community members who will have interesting conversations in your chat which definitely adds a ton of value.
Pls grow up.
Well now that its already starting to leak that
@binance
is settling for billions, might as well know the other rumour but that is still an actual rumour.
Would be a logical step though as its getting rough for CZ out there
4/I downloaded the trades from Huobi's website and checked if the volume was still correct; it was.
To ensure the trades data I got was correct, I checked with
@tardis_dev
, who records the trades live, and it gave me the same result.
It might be time to derisk on solana
-The timeline sentiment is nearing an all-time high euphoria for SOL
- Spot markets showing thin bids, thick asks
- Funding rates are soaring, ranging between 70-130% on an annualized basis
- Degods wants to bridge back
6/I got the live orderbook & put it next to the live trades to see precisely what happened.
Usually, Huobi does 20-60 trades/minute, but after 23:11, the frequency of trades exploded & was sized 1-40 eth per trade.
This wasn't a bot going wild.
5/At this point, I thought it would be a rogue algo or some whales playing around.
The avg volume from 16:00 -> 23:00 that day was 6.3 ETH per minute, A little over 2500 eth in that 7-hour period.
Surely they wouldn't fake their volume & expect it to go unnoticed, right?
11/Ive noticed a couple of other events like this on huobi but they were in a less obvious way or with limited size
I'm guessing this is huobi's attempt to try and get more market share.
@tier10k
- opensea addys linked to twitter accounts
- potential ens name matches to twitter
- twitter hexagon pfp to addy
by this alone u can potentially match millions easily with different levels of certainty lmao
The real thing that scared me is that a very big trading firm invested in kucoin & later pulled out
They rewrote the matching engine but did not implement the new one, ofc rumours but I got a pretty good source

Since there is no good public tool to check how legitimate CEXs are, I'll make one myself & publish the research publicly.
Below is a list of the factors I'll be scoring the exchanges on, is there anything I am missing?
People look too much at naked funding rates for market sentiment
High funding doesn’t mean anything if there is no open interest, look at how much fees are paid instead
Funding_rate * oi_value = fees paid => market sentiment
Fiat onramps:
- Binance SEPA is fucked for institutions; send me to 3rd party that is not able to do their job
- Bybit has it but only tells me later that it is not for institutions
- Circle takes a week
- Tether takes ages
- Kraken is slow with onboarding
- Bitstamp doesn't…
12/I hope you enjoyed this thread!
If you want to checkout the data yourself you can find it here:
I might publish a more extensive article on this on my medium where I talk about other ways to spot fake data & how I deal with it in my systems
Exchanges need to stop being a lil bitch when it comes to support
You know I deliver volume, and u know u profit a lot from me
Don't be a bitch when I ask questions because u can't provide essential documentation about your exchange.
If I have to ask, it's not in the damm…
Many underestimate how big of an impact
@poweredbyvertex
can have and how lucrative that can be for VRTX stakers.
The demand for decentralised perpetual exchanges has steadily risen, but they all face one major issue: fragmented liquidity.
Edge fixes this.

2/The random volume spike caught the attention of many traders but was quickly written off as a tradingview bug or whales exchanging hands.
I thought it would be a TV bug, but other trading pairs, such as BNB were unaffected so it was no TV issue.
So I checked myself.
I have noticed that, although my Twitter has 2200 followers, I am not receiving 2200 likes on my posts. I'm not sure if this is being done intentionally or if these "friends" forget to click 'like'. Either way, I've had enough.
3/The historical klines that I got via their API showed the same result.
So now there are only a few options left:
- Some calculation bug occurred
- Whales traded
- An algo went rogue
- They propped it up themselves
10/Perfect defence ofcourse "it was a bot that went wild" however this bot would:
- Need to fill its own orders (disabled on most exchanges)
- Have that much inventory on an illiquid exchange
- Place that many orders that fast without hitting an API limit

> get sybled

> compare your 0 fee/sybled volume to other marketplaces
> raise more money
7/There were no big asks/bids to be found in the orderbook snapshots yet thousands of eth got filled, so what happened?
Huobi used 2 accounts, one places a limit order and immediately after, the second account tries to fill it.

@dymension
sure, it could also just be a snapshot-taking tool but the script is empty + it specifically says entries 23 feb
so expecting them to take snapshots that will be used for airdrops by other services
Be careful if you use
@ublockorigin
got screwed with add blocking on google ads so the first link that appears can be phishing
Factory reset my laptop yesterday & wanted to do a quick trade on an airdrop farming wallet but sadly, I got drained
Small loss but be careful
9/I find it strange huobi did it this way, they could have used bigger orders, spread it out more etc.. their trading rules allow it.
But that is most likely because they want people to think it was a rogue bot.
Connect your wallet before you can explore our website is one of the worst user experiences created in crypto/web3
You are not only losing users this way but also pissing off 50% of your community
Base will never do an airdrop because of the legal complexities involved and the high risk of facing lawsuits from investors who may feel they're not receiving the "maximum value" as shareholders.
Most of you are just coping.
