Mantra’s OM extends 2025 loss to 99% – Why the team blames OKX

Since Mantra’s OM token crashed by over 99% in April, the project team and crypto exchange OKX have been embroiled in an ongoing blame game at the expense of investors. 

In a recent statement, the exchange claimed that the team borrowed ‘significant amounts of USDT’ and used OM as collateral to ‘inflate’ the price of the token. 

Following the price manipulation, the exchange’s risk team was forced to freeze the accounts and liquidate a portion of Mantra [OM] after the price fell slightly, triggering an aggressive sell-off across other platforms.

The exchange called the Mantra team’s accusations a ‘misleading narrative.’ 

Mixed reactions to OM’s price crash

However, other users, like Park Yong, questioned OKX’s interest and posed

He added, 

For the unfamiliar, Mantra is a tokenization-focused protocol that will be migrating into a fully fledged Layer 1 (L2) from Ethereum.

As a result, it will change its ERC-20 governance token, OM, to MANTRA., The migration will be finalized by the 15th of January 2026.

With the migration schedule, OKX reached out to the team to help facilitate the conversion of its OM holdings. 

Although the exchange said that there were legal actions underway, Mantra CEO JP Mullin denied such actions, affirming

Mantra reverses 600% gain

During the late 2024 rally, which extended into February 2025, OM posted a 600% gain.

Although it erased part of the gains amid early 2025 tariff headwinds, it dumped over 80% after OKX froze the team accounts amid manipulation claims.

As of press time, OM traded at $0.07 and had been experiencing overwhelmingly bearish sentiment in the Futures market, according to CoinGlass

But beyond the price chart, the chain has been positioning itself with new products, including a stablecoin, MantraUSD.

There are still over 36K holders of OM ahead of the migration. It remains to be seen whether the migration will help the chain move past the OKX and project team scandal. 


Final Thoughts 

  • The Mantra team and OKX have denied crashing the OM price by over 90% in 2025. 
  • Large OM investors were reportedly suing OKX for losses, according to the Mantra chain CEO.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
