Definition ∞ Share Price Manipulation is the intentional artificial inflation or deflation of a company’s stock value through deceptive practices. These tactics can include spreading false information, wash trading, or coordinated buying and selling to create misleading market activity. Such actions distort fair market pricing and harm investor confidence.
Context ∞ While primarily a concern in traditional equity markets, similar manipulative schemes can occur with digital assets, impacting token values and market integrity. A key debate addresses the challenges of detecting and preventing such activities in less regulated or decentralized crypto markets. Future developments involve enhanced market surveillance tools and clearer regulatory guidelines to promote fair trading practices in digital asset exchanges.
