At the zenith of its meteoric rise, murmurs of insider mischief bubbled up from the crypto cauldron, revealing that a rather alarming 90% of RAVE’s total supply was firmly clasped in the clammy hands of insiders. This delightful revelation prompted the ever-watchful sleuth, ZachXBT, to don his proverbial detective hat and plunge into the murky waters of manipulation.

As I’ve been following the developments, it looks like Amazon is significantly increasing its investment in Anthropic. They’d previously put in $8 billion, and now they’ve announced a potential further investment of up to $20 billion.

Despite this, data from the blockchain recently revealed a split in behavior: larger cryptocurrency holders were moving coins to exchanges, while long-term investors were actually increasing their holdings.

As an analyst, I’m watching the recent news with a degree of caution.
