CryptoP
Pump and Dump (PND)
A trading scheme where the market trader, like a whale or even a group of traders, get together to sell a cryptocurrency abruptly after artificially inflating its price - or \"pumping\" it up. It's common to see the \"pump\" happen on Twitter or Discord or Telegram
Example
“A Telegram group coordinated a PND on a low-cap altcoin, buying millions of tokens to inflate the price 500% before dumping on unsuspecting buyers who joined late.”
