๐ RootData Weekly Crypto X Leaderboard is here!
John Patrick Mullin topped the RootData leaderboard this week โ but for all the wrong reasons.
The MANTRA co-founder and CEO found himself in the spotlight after $OM, the token of the RWA-focused L1, crashed nearly 90% in just 90 minutes โ from $5.21 to ~$0.50.
MANTRA blamed โreckless liquidationsโ on centralized exchanges, not insider activity. But the community isnโt convinced. Allegations swirled around team-controlled wallets, suspicious pre-dump transfers to Binance and OKX, and a sky-high FDV of $9.5B versus just ~$13M in TVL.
Chaos, speculation, and one of the most dramatic token crashes in recent memory.
๐ Top 5 this week:
