Binance Publishes Market Manipulation Guidelines for Crypto Traders

Binance has released a set of guidelines aimed at preventing market manipulation in cryptocurrency markets. The exchange warns that certain behaviors may indicate misaligned incentives or weak internal controls among market makers.

The six red flags outlined by Binance include selling tokens ahead of agreed-upon release schedules, one-sided trading behavior, and thin liquidity. These warning signs can distort prices, drain liquidity, and erode community trust.

Binance emphasizes the importance of genuine volume behind market-making activity, stating that high-volume assets with little depth should prompt closer scrutiny. The exchange recommends assessing order book depth rather than relying solely on volume figures.
