Binance Altcoin Crash: A Trading Bot Mishap or Market Manipulation?

Main notes

  • The ACT's distinctive symbol has been 80 % in the past 24 hours, along with other metal currencies on Binance.
  • Traders blame Wintermute for causing this stagnation on Altcoins on Binance.
  • Binance said that three dignitaries have sold permissible work combined at a value of $ 514,000, causing collapse.

The leading Binance in the Crypto exchange under the intersection in the digital asset community was exposed when the sudden price and consumption collapsed many distinctive symbols.

Leaving investors scrambled as metal currencies such as ACT, Dexe and DF, as ACT decreased approximately 57 % on April 1, then 23 % of the next day.


The event sent a shock through the encryption community, which ignited speculation about whether it was a robot malfunction, a sign of imminent deletion, or an attempt to manipulate the market.

Altcoin's crash: What happened?

ACT was trading within a stable range for most March, but fell from $ 0.189 to $ 0.087 in just half an hour. Many other symbols followed a similar path.

The sudden drop in prices led to many traders directing their fingers in automatic trading robots. A specific theory indicates that Wintermute, a prominent company in the market industry, may have played a role in the accident.

“Not FWIW.”

On the other hand, some analysts pointed to the last update of Binance at the leverage levels and margins of the various altcoins, including ACT.

These amendments may have caused their positions to balance their positions, which leads to collective sales and cause a reaction in the market.

Curd and influencers have asked their followers not to use Binance anymore or invest in Altcoins that are inserted on the central stock exchange, claiming that the company is addressing the market.

However, Binance Customer Support said in response to journalist Colin Wu that the accident was the result of three dignitaries who sold $ 514,000 of the symbols, along with a heterogeneous merchant who discharged $ 540,000.

The large sale pressure during a short time window can lead to a decrease in the huge prices.

Bad press for the winter team

Wintermute has been in the midst of multiple similar incidents in the past. In early 2025, the company was accused of operating sharp market fluctuations when it received more than $ 100 million from Binance between 27 and 28 January.

Wintermute was also accused of pulling liquidity from many AMMS makers, causing 60 % decreases for some symbols.

While Gaevoy denied the accusations of manipulation of the market, saying that their actions were purely linked to the trade in the argument, the encryption community is still skeptical in all events.
