⚡️TENSION: CHINA OFFICIALLY RETALIATES AGAINST U.S. TARIFFS 🇨🇳 🇺🇸

On April 11, 2025, the Chinese State Council Tariff Commission announced adjustments to tariffs on imported goods originating from the United States, effective from April 12, 2025.

📌 Reason - Following the U.S. increase in tariffs on Chinese goods from 84% to 125%, China declared this action as "unilateral, bullying, and contrary to global trade rules."

⚠️ China further warned: "If the U.S. continues to play the tariff game, China will retaliate to the end."

🧐 THE REASON BEHIND OM’S 90% CRASH

Since April 7th, at least 17 wallets have transferred a total of 43.6 million OM (worth around $227 million at that time) to CEXs, accounting for approximately 4.5% of the circulating supply.

According to Arkham tagging, some of these addresses are linked to Laser Digital, a strategic investor of Mantra Network.

There are also rumors that major holders, along with market makers and wealthy individuals in Dubai, manipulated the chart to liquidate all short positions — since in reality, no one truly holds OM tokens.

👉 In fact, Mantra is barely used — the chain has almost no TVL, no notable dApps, and very low trading volume.

🧐 @NumeAnalysis

🔍 Mantra OM – $6 Billion Wiped Out Overnight in a Single Candle

A few hours ago, a shocking "earthquake" hit the crypto market early this morning: the price of $OM, the native token of Mantra (a prominent RWA project), plunged uncontrollably from around $6 to just $0.37 in less than an hour—wiping out over $6 billion in market cap in a single candlestick.
This unexpected crash instantly triggered memories of LUNA and FTX, sparking fears of a large-scale rug pull.

🔴 Mantra Responds:
Denies any mass sell-off: The team asserts that their tokens are still locked under a vesting schedule and that all on-chain data is transparent. No changes have been made to their tokenomics.
They claim the crash was the result of uncontrollable liquidations across exchanges and deny any internal involvement.

🔴 Binance Speaks Out:
The main reason cited: Cross-exchange liquidations.
Since October 2024, Binance had already reduced the leverage limit for $OM and, in January 2025, displayed warnings about price volatility and changes in tokenomics due to increased supply.

🔴 Community Launches Investigation:
1️⃣ Unusual Cash Flows (via Lookonchain)
Between April 7 and the crash, at least 17 wallets transferred a total of 43.6 million $OM (worth ~$227M at the time) to CEXs — equivalent to 4.5% of the circulating supply.
Notably, 2 of these wallets are linked to Laser Digital, a strategic investor in Mantra.
2️⃣ Suspected Price Manipulation
In February 2025, $OM surged 3x in value — suspiciously during a bear market. Many suspect this was a market maker's "pump and dump" play, though no solid evidence has surfaced yet.
3️⃣Unlimited Tokenomics
In February 2024, Mantra Chain switched from a capped supply model (888M) to an unlimited tokenomics framework, doubling its supply to 1,777,777,777 OM.
4️⃣Past Warnings from WuBlockchain
Several core team members were previously involved in online gambling projects (e.g., 21Pink), which has raised longstanding doubts within the crypto community.
5️⃣Airdrop Controversy
In March 2025, the airdrop unlock schedule kept changing. Ultimately, 10% was unlocked on March 18, while the remaining 90% was vested until February 2026. Many community members believe this was a stalling tactic to allow for quiet sell-offs.
6️⃣Current Futures Status
To date, total liquidations in long/short positions have reached $71M, with $50M from long positions.

🔥 TOO LATE AND WRONG – TRUMP IS HEATING UP 🆕

In his latest post, Donald Trump called Jerome Powell “Too Late” for being “TOO LATE AND WRONG” in his policy decisions. He compared Powell to the European Central Bank (ECB) – which has already cut interest rates seven times, while Powell continues to delay.

Trump emphasized:
🟢 Oil prices are dropping
🟢 Food prices (even eggs!) are going down
🟢 America is getting RICH ON TARIFFS

Despite this, the Fed has yet to act. Trump concluded:
👉 Powell must cut rates immediately

🚨 Some useful tips I’ve gathered to survive in the world of crypto! 🔈

🟢 Limit orders and stop-losses are your best friends.
🟢 Truly good projects rarely come cheap — and if it’s too cheap, is it really that good?
🟢 Don’t always aim to sell at the all-time high (ATH). Be mentally prepared for a 20–50% drop.
🟢 Local tops often appear when old coins suddenly pump for no clear reason.
🟢 Avoid staking tokens for long periods — it’s extremely risky.
🟢 When nobody is talking about crypto, opportunities begin to appear.
🟢 Don’t obsess over selling at the top or buying at the bottom. Take profits gradually on the way up, and accumulate on the way down (only for BTC and truly strong projects).
🟢 Separate your trading account from your HODL account.
🟢 You’ll never gain an edge by always following the crowd.
🟢 Once you’ve entered a trade, don’t check it constantly. If you keep checking, just close it.
🟢 Ask yourself: can the project you’re holding outperform BTC? If not, just go with $BTC.
🟢 Be happy for others when they make profits — positive energy attracts positive outcomes.
