According to CoinMeta, as price manipulation attacks increase, more and more crypto traders and lenders are being harmed. In addition to schemes aimed at organic growth and driving up prices before selling, there is another increasingly popular malicious motive behind the surge in crypto asset prices.

These attacks occur when attackers deliberately drive up prices.
