FUD around Eigen Layer

In the last WEEKLY CRYPTO RECAP, we thought the FUD around Eigen Layer was settled, but their recent actions reignited it.

• Eigen Layer reversed its May 2 announcement that ALL who engaged with the EL ecosystem from March 15 to April 29 would receive an additional 100 tokens.
• They now state these users won't get the extra 100 $EIGEN tokens.

Binance & DWF Labs

Binance’s investigative team alleges it discovered that market maker DWF Labs was involved in market manipulation.

 

• The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that DWF Labs’ alleged fictitious trading was discovered during an internal investigation using proprietary software tools. 
• When the discovery was presented to the DWF Labs’ management, the exchange fired the head of the supervisory service.

DWF Labs called the accusations unfounded and that it distorted facts.

Binance, in a commentary on the article, stated that it strictly adheres to market supervision and prevents abuse. According to statistics, over three years, the exchange disconnected about 355,000 users with a transaction volume of more than $2.5 trillion for violating the terms of use.
