Mantra Crash News: OKX Reveals Major Changes to OM Tokenomics Amid 90% Plunge

Crypto Market Crash Today_ $985M Liquidated, Bitcoin Dips Below $78K; XRP, SOL And ETH Down 15%

The post Mantra Crash News: OKX Reveals Major Changes to OM Tokenomics Amid 90% Plunge appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Recently, the OM token from the Mantra chain crashed over 90% in just an hour wiping out over $5.5 billion in value which caused havoc in the crypto market. It all started when a wallet possibly linked to the OM team deposited 3.9 million OM tokens on OKX, which alerted the community since the team controls nearly 90% of the total OM supply. 

Although Mantra claims limited involvement, internal moves and the market reactions have triggered the dramatic sell-off. Over the past year, the OM team has faced criticisms for price manipulation. The latest deposit triggered a chain reaction that sent the token’s value in a downward spiral. 

Cascading Liquidation Sent The Token Crashing Down

After this deposit, massive sell-off began sparking rumours of earlier OTC deals at steeper discounts possibly as high as 50%. The token’s value continued to decline which led to panic selling and a cascading liquidation effect that sent the price to its breaking point. 

Mantra co-founder JP Mullin said that the price drop was caused by ‘reckless liquidations’. Meanwhile Binance stepped in to clarify that the cross-exchange liquidations led to OM’s crash. 

A Major Scandal

OKX CEO Star Xu called the OM token crash a major scandal for the crypto industry. He noted that all onchain data like token unlocks, deposits and liquidations is public and can be reviewed. He also promised that OKX will release detailed reports. This comes after a report revealed that 17 wallets including two linked to investor Laser Digital had sent $227 million worth of OM to exchange just before the crash. 

Mantra assured its community that the team did not move any tokens during the crash and the project remains strong. However, crypto expert ZachXBT questioned the sudden drop and felt that the team’s explanation did little to imrove the situation.

OKX Increases Risk Controls After OM Token Changes and Suspicious Activity

OKX also reported that significant changes were made to the OM token’s tokenomics starting in October 2024. The exchange also noted unusual large-scale activity involving similar addresses on the blockchain since March 2025. In response, OKX adjusted its risk controls and advised users to exercise caution due to heightened market risks

OM Rebounds 200%

The token rebounded 200% after 90% crash reaching $1.10. The project’s co-founder JP Mullin confirmed that the project was still active, with its official Telegram group remaining online.

Notably, OM’s 200% rebound from $0.37 resembles the pattern seen in the 2022 LUNA crash. After LUNA’s brief recovery, it fell further unable to recover key moving averages. Experts now doubt OM’s recovery with AmiCatCrypto predicting that it could drop a further 90% and noted that any gains are just temporary bounces.
