"It's difficult to discuss cryptocurrencies without mentioning Bitcoin. However, there are worries that a sizable amount of the everyday volume of bitcoin trade is fake. This throws into doubt the reliability of data and the authenticity of exchanges," says Jonathan Merry, CEO of BanklessTimes.
Such fraudulent transactions frequently involve a strategy in which assets are concurrently acquired and sold on the same platform, often by bots.
