What to know:

  • Movement Labs has suspended co-founder Rushi Manche amid ongoing investigations into organizational governance.
  • Coinbase has suspended trading of the MOVE token following a report of a market maker's involvement in a token dump.
  • The MOVE token's value has dropped over 20% after Binance banned the implicated market maker, Web3Port.

Movement Labs announced today on X that it had suspended co-founder Rushi Manche.

The move to suspend Manche comes as Coinbase delisted the MOVE token, after CoinDesk reported that Movement Labs is investigating how a market maker tied to Web3Port acquired and dumped over 5% of the token’s supply, triggering a price crash.

Binance had previously banned the market maker at the center of this, Web3Port, from its platform.

The MOVE token is down about 20% on the day, according to CoinDesk market data.
