Unlike April 9, when the asset plunged by more than 80%, the token, ARIA, fell from its April 14 peak of $1.12 to $0.09 in just four hours. Although it recovered to trade just above $0.11, Coingecko data showed the token was still down 86% in 24 hours and more than 90% from its April 13 peak of $1.18.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/aria\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"aria market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>The collapse caused ARIA\u2019s market capitalization to drop from a Monday peak of $215 million to $20.8 million. According to Coinclass data, ARIA price <span>volatility<\/span> exceeded 115.51% on Wednesday, triggering the <span>liquidation<\/span> of more than $7.1 million in long positions.

At that time, the decline was linked to reports questioning the gaming platform\u2019s unverified code. The auditing platform Sentinacle warned that without published code, the asset is essentially a black box. However, less than two days later, ARIA <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/aria-token-rebounds-from-80-crash-to-hit-new-all-time-high-of-0-95\/\">reclaimed<\/a> its April 9 peak before rallying to a new all-time high.<\/p>\n<p>The latest decline has again fueled allegations of a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/fartcoin-price-pumped-27-then-crashed-in-hyperliquid-manipulation-attempt\/\">pump-and-dump<\/a> scheme. One social media user claimed a suspected manipulator dumped 45.64 million tokens for 5.42 million <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/?utm_source=News\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USDT<\/a> on Tuesday, causing the price to tank. The user alleged the tokens were withdrawn from Gate.io to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-blockchain\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blockchain<\/a> via eight wallets during the early stages of the token\u2019s rise.<\/p>\n<p>EmberCN <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EmberCN\/status\/2044218793745088645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote<\/a> on X that those eight wallets collectively dumped the tokens in the early morning of April 14. The user noted that 45.64 million ARIA were sold for 5.42 million <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/?utm_source=News\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USDT<\/a> at an average price of $0.12. In addition to manipulation allegations, claims surfaced on social media that certain platforms were blocking traders from shorting ARIA during its descent or taking long positions during its recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/second-flash-crash-in-a-week-sends-aria-down-90\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways: ARIA crashed over 90% from its April 14 peak of $1.12, marking its second major nosedive in one week.
