Float Manipulation

작동 방식

Many tokens launch with only a modest fraction of supply actually transferable, the rest held by a team, a foundation, investors under vesting, or a market maker operating under a loan agreement with an option to buy. The price discovered on that small float is then multiplied by a much larger supply figure to produce headline valuations, and it is also the price feeding indexes and oracles. Concentrated ownership makes that price relatively cheap to influence, whether by withholding supply, by concentrated buying in a thin book, or by coordinated promotion timed to a listing. Since the float grows on a schedule while the influence shrinks, the reference price established early is not necessarily reachable once the remainder becomes tradable.

실제로 관찰 가능한 항목

Examine holder concentration, excluding known exchange and contract addresses, and count how much supply sits in vesting contracts, treasury addresses, and market-maker wallets. Compare fully diluted valuation against market capitalization, and read the terms of any disclosed market-making arrangement, particularly loans of tokens with call options. Sudden transfers into exchange deposit addresses from allocation wallets are directly observable and are the most concrete signal available.

수치의 중요성에 영향을 미치는 요인

Consider the tradable float as a share of total supply, holder concentration excluding infrastructure addresses, the gap between market capitalization and fully diluted valuation, and whether promotional activity coincides with listings.
