Altcoin OM price crash leads analysts to dig deeper. Now dubbed as LUNA 2.0, the Mantra team is under fire. Was this a long-term scam of just a few bad actors in play? The new week began with a harsh wake up call for OM holders. For a project looking to deliver high possibilities for RWA projects, Mantra may have turned into a long-term scam looking to benefit only a few with the vision for the many. As OM price crash leads analysts to dip deeper, one analyst goes on to highlight the many red flags and goes on to share the lessons we must take in a constantly evolving crypto landscape. OM Price Crash Leads Analysts to Dig Deeper The crypto market has evolved to such a state that even trusted projects have begun to scam and disappoint its communities. Initially, it was easy to find scam projects and not fall into their fake promises. However, since the LUNA debacle and FTX the crypto community has seen that even the most trusted projects can be a huge let down and it seems that Mantra (OM) may be one such project. Now dubbed the LUNA of the ongoing bull cycle, OM has a lot of questions to answer.

He says that the OM dump is one of the biggest single-day wipeouts in crypto history and highlights the key takeaways from the event. He says that market caps are an illusion and what is more important to watch is market liquidity. He also marks how there is a big difference between fundamentals and price across the board in crypto and raises a bigger question, how many other projects could pull off the same moves in winning trust and forming strong partnerships only to disappoint and betray the community? Deutscher was one of the few who noticed the red flags and sold his OM holdings early and was able to escape the OM crash.
