Although ranked 914th on CoinMarketCap, the recent appearance of Tradoor (TRADOOR) among the top trending tokens on the market has caught everyone’s attention. However, this renewed attention has been fueled by controversy and not its stock performance.
The 24-hour price chart of the token revealed that TRADOOR fell by 38.32% and was trading at $0.7973. Additionally, the weekly price chart highlighted a decline of over 88%.
Needless to say, such a massive drop in prices has once again put fears of market manipulation in the spotlight.
Providing further information on the topic, on-chain investigator Specter spoke to X and noted:
Another grouped and manipulated token just lost 90%.
The investigator also pointed out that the altcoin had jumped 900% since March 2026. However, on April 24, TRADOOR fell 90% in just 30 minutes.
Is the Tradoor team behind this price manipulation?
TRADOOR launched in September 2025, with only 60 million tokens.
In this, approximately 86% of the supply was retained by the team, creating an artificial shortage. The team’s main wallet controlled 70.12% of the supply, Bitget controlled 11.15%, and Binance Alpha controlled 5.16%.
Making the same point, Specter added:
It is reasonable to conclude that the 11% held by Bitget was controlled by the Tradoor team or by an entity of which Tradoor had full knowledge.
According to the analyst, the combination of these factors resulted in a classic pull-pull scenario, in which a scarcity of circulating supply caused price increases with minimal capital.
What is behind the 900% price hike?
This could explain the 900% price increase, which would be fueled by “wash trading”. In such cases, wallets buy and sell to create a false scenario of massive demand and volume.
The investigator added:
Between September 19 and 21, several of the above wallets redistributed tokens to additional addresses and were used to make fictitious transactions.
Additionally, to avoid buyer resistance from large whales, the TRADOOR team has listed many tokens on Bitget and Binance Alpha. At the same time, Tradoor’s team also controlled the maximum chips.
TRADOOR’s liquidation chart appears to confirm this trend, as the recent price decline coupled with lengthy liquidations suggests a lack of liquidity on the buy side.
Is this a growing trend in the market?
TRADOOR is not the only token to go through an episode like this. Just recently, ZachXBT had accused RaveDAO (RAVE) of blatant price manipulation. This, after the token entered the top 15, before falling 95% in a few hours.
The pseudonymous blockchain investigator also examined MemeCore in a similar manner.
While CEXs are still looking for the culprit, it remains to be seen how many more tokens will fall into this pit of price manipulation.
Final Summary
- Altcoin recorded a weekly decline of over 88% after increasing more than 9 times since March.
- TRADOOR, after its episodes of volatility, is now increasingly scrutinized by blockchain investigators.
