Manipulation attacks are malicious activities designed to distort market prices, influence asset valuations, or alter the perceived state of a system for illegal gain. In the digital asset space, these can include wash trading, pump-and-dump schemes, or exploiting weaknesses in decentralized exchanges. Such attacks undermine market fairness and investor trust. They aim to establish artificial market conditions.
