Accusations and concerns about market manipulation surfaced after the TRB token was thrust into the limelight, thanks to a staggering price increase of 172%. The relatively unknown token reached an all-time high of $619 before plummeting back to $139 in hours. The price spiked from $213 to $630 in just over 8 hours on the 31st of December. After a brief period of consolidation, the token’s price dropped to under $200, falling as far as $120. Suspicions were further raised about the trading activity after data from Etherscan showed that the Tellor team transferred around 4211 TRB worth roughly $2.4 million at the time to a Coinbase wallet just as the price began to spike.
