Price manipulation in DeFi (Decentralized Finance) refers to the intentional and illicit act of influencing the price of a cryptocurrency or token in a decentralized financial market.

This can be achieved through various methods such as "wash trading" (buying and selling the same asset to create artificial trading volume), "spoofing" (placing fake orders to manipulate the perceived supply and demand of an asset), and "pumping and dumping" (inflating the price of an asset through false hype or misleading information and then selling it at a high price).

Price manipulation can have serious consequences for investors and the broader DeFi ecosystem, including reduced trust, decreased liquidity, and even financial losses. Therefore, DeFi projects are taking steps to prevent price manipulation through measures such as robust market surveillance, smart contract auditing, and community governance.

In this video, they will discuss price manipulation in detail and how Historacle provides a shield against it.
