## Introduction

In April 2025, the <a href="/ja/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">cryptocurrency market</a> shook again. The OM coin crash was like a heavy bomb, triggering panic among investors and regulatory concerns.

## What is the direct reason for the 90% sharp decline in the price of OM coin?

On April 13, 2025, OM Coin plummeted by over 90% in just a few hours, dropping from $6.30 to below $0.50, with a market value evaporating over $5.5 billion. This event triggered widespread panic and speculation in the market. According to JP Mullin, co-founder of the Mantra project, the crash was caused by 'reckless forced liquidation' of OM account holders by centralized exchanges. He emphasized that these operations, carried out suddenly on a low-liquidity Sunday evening UTC time, may have amplified the market impact. Mullin denied claims of the team or investors selling tokens and stated that OM tokens are still locked according to the project's established plan.

However, some independent analysts have put forward different views. Crypto Assets analyst Max Brown pointed out that the sell-off began with a wallet believed to be related to the Mantra team depositing 3.9 million OM tokens into a centralized exchange. Considering the team reportedly controls nearly 90% of the total supply, this move triggered market panic and led to a large-scale sell-off. This view contrasts sharply with the explanation from the Mantra team, deepening market doubts about the truth of the incident.

## OM coin crash event's chain reaction on other crypto assets

The collapse of OM coin has had a significant impact on the entire Crypto Assets market. As a project that focuses on tokenizing physical assets, Mantra's sudden collapse has raised concerns among investors about similar projects. This event has exposed the vulnerability of the Crypto Assets market, especially during periods of illiquidity. The market's confidence in the Mantra project has plummeted, thus affecting the valuation of other projects focusing on tokenizing physical assets.

Gate.io's data shows that after the collapse of OM coin, the token prices of several related projects have experienced varying degrees of decline within 24 hours. This chain reaction reflects the high correlation of the crypto asset market, where issues with one project can quickly spread to the entire ecosystem. Additionally, this event has raised doubts among investors about the risk management capabilities of crypto asset exchanges, prompting market participants to reassess their investment strategies and risk control measures.

## Regulatory agencies' response to the OM coin crash event and possible measures to be taken

The collapse of OM coin has attracted high attention from regulatory authorities. As a project licensed in the UAE, Mantra's sudden collapse has challenged the region's Crypto Assets regulatory framework. The Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) in the UAE may investigate the incident, focusing on whether Mantra has violated its obligations as a virtual asset service provider.

In addition, this incident may prompt global regulatory agencies to accelerate the formulation of stricter Crypto Assets regulatory policies. Here are some possible regulatory measures:

| Regulatory direction | Specific Measures |
| :-: | :-: |
| Liquidity Management | Require exchanges to increase liquidity reserves to prevent sudden large-scale sell-offs |
| Transparency requirements | Enhance disclosure requirements for project party token holdings and trading |
| Market Manipulation Prevention | Introduce stricter market surveillance mechanisms to combat insider trading and price manipulation |
| Investor Protection | Establish an investor compensation mechanism to enhance risk education |

These measures are aimed at improving the stability and credibility of the <a href="/ja/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">cryptocurrency market</a>, but they may also increase the compliance costs for project parties and exchanges. Early layout, strengthening risk management and compliance construction may become the key to the future development of exchanges.

## Conclusion

The OM coin crash not only affected investor confidence, but may also trigger stricter regulatory measures. Cryptocurrency participants should increase their risk awareness, while regulators need to balance innovation and stability to jointly build a healthier digital asset ecosystem.

Risk Warning: The market is highly volatile, and changes in regulatory policies may result in significant fluctuations in the value of crypto assets. Investors need to carefully assess the risks.
