Highlights about crypto wash trading

Today, I’m sharing with us
Another type of wash trading in crypto

  • Cross-exchange wash trading: when two or more exchanges trade with each other in order to inflate trading volume or prices.

Example, two exchanges might agree to trade the same crypto back and forth in order to make it look like there is more demand for the cryptocurrency than there actually is…

Now does this get in conflict with ARBITRAGE TRADING??

don’t get this, please explain further.

trading the same crypto on their respective exchanges or?

for example when we say cross chain, it means from one chain to the other.

so if binance is trading trx and the same time kucoin is trading trx, what makes it cross exchange trading?

Very good you asked. Now here is it.

Here is an example of cross-exchange wash trading using Huobi and Binance:

A trader creates two accounts, one on Huobi and one on Binance.

The trader deposits the same amount of cryptocurrency into both accounts. (1 million TRX Each :- Binance and Huobi)

The trader then places a buy order for a certain amount of TRX on Huobi.

The trader then uses the second account to place a sell order for the same amount of TRX on Binance.

The two orders are executed, and the trader’s cryptocurrency is transferred from the first account to the second account.

This process has the effect of inflating the trading volume for the TRX on both Huobi and Binance.

This can lead to higher prices for TRX which can benefit the trader who is conducting the wash trading.

Hope this is clear, our African black Elon Musk
