On April 13, MANTRA’s native token, OM, experienced a dramatic 92% drop in price, plummeting from over $7 to just $0.66. The sharp fall occurred around 18:28 UTC during a period of low market activity. This sudden crash erased most of OM’s recent gains, bringing the weekly loss to -89.73%. As of now, OM trades at $0.6591 with a daily decline of 9.68%. The token holds a market capitalization of $634.76 million, with 24-hour trading volume at $387.43 million, reflecting a 42.99% drop.
MANTRA’s CEO, John Patrick Mullin, addressed the incident, clarifying that the collapse did not stem from any internal activity. He blamed the crash on “reckless forced closures” by centralized exchanges. Although no exchange was named, Mullin expressed concerns over the influence and decision-making power of these platforms, particularly during low liquidity windows such as Sunday evenings.
In response to the unexpected decline, MANTRA launched an internal investigation to identify the root causes and verify the token’s current circulating supply. To restore investor confidence, the project also announced a token buyback and burn program. These actions aim to support holders and reinforce OM’s long-term stability.
Technical Analysis
The OM/USDT chart reveals aggressive selling pressure signaling panic selling. After peaking near $9.11, the price sharply reversed, erasing months of gains. The absence of any meaningful volume during the crash suggests that liquidity dried up rapidly, leading to cascading liquidations. The price now hovers around a potential psychological support zone, but sustained recovery will depend on renewed demand and market confidence.
