Bitcoin Liquidity Manipulation Claims Surface as BTC Price Stalls

Claims of Bitcoin price manipulation emerge on social media as traders cite liquidity moves, exchange flows, and stalled BTC momentum.

A crypto analyst has shared bold allegations about Bitcoin price manipulation.

The controversy erupted when NoLimitGains posted detailed claims on social media. The analyst alleged that recent Bitcoin price action was not organic. Instead, he claimed it represented a coordinated liquidity operation.

Major Exchanges Allegedly Involved in BTC Price Moves

According to the post, Binance, Coinbase, and Wintermute orchestrated a deliberate pump-and-dump scheme.

NoLimitGains stated that Bitcoin sat in a zone with heavy short interest beforehand. Funding rates had flipped negative. Open interest was elevated. Stop losses were stacked above resistance levels.

The analyst described how large players pushed prices aggressively higher into thin liquidity. However, the goal was not upside continuation. The alleged objective was liquidation of short positions.

“As price ripped, shorts were forced to cover,” the post explained.

That covering became fuel for further upward momentum. Every liquidation added more buy pressure. To observers, it looked like a genuine breakout.

Retail Traders Allegedly Caught in Coordinated Operation

NoLimitGains claimed that while retail traders chased green candles, the same entities providing the initial push were unloading positions.

Large transfers reportedly hit exchanges immediately after the spike. Once short liquidations completed, no real buying interest remained underneath. Price snapped back down just as quickly.

The analyst called this coordinated behavior enabled by entities controlling both liquidity and execution. He labeled such actions illegal but noted that enforcement remains absent.

Meanwhile, another analyst, Daan Crypto Trades, shared a different perspective. His Bitcoin yearly liquidation heatmap showed no interesting levels. The chart indicated that price has gone nowhere this year. Any large clusters were taken out over the past six months.

Daan stated it will take time for larger clusters to build again. This happens as price continues ranging or makes a large high-volume move.

Bitcoin currently trades at $87,536.58, according to CoinGecko data. The price declined 0.25% in the last 24 hours. Over seven days, Bitcoin dropped 2.47%. Trading volume reached $50.5 billion over the same period.

The allegations have not been verified by exchange representatives or regulatory authorities.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
