PANews reported on November 30 that, according to Cointelegraph, Shane Molidor, founder of blockchain consulting firm Forgd, warned that information asymmetry and front-running are spreading from the token market to institutional products such as DAT. DAT initially invested primarily in large-cap tokens like Bitcoin, which are highly liquid and have efficient price discovery mechanisms. However, as competition intensified, many such instruments began targeting smaller-cap, less liquid tokens in search of higher upside potential. This shift made DAT more susceptible to manipulation. Furthermore, DAT's fundraising process facilitated early access trading. During interactions with potential backers, insiders could learn in advance which tokens would be purchased. This provided opportunities for early access trading, allowing them to directly buy these assets on the secondary market in hopes of profiting from future price increases.PANews reported on November 30 that, according to Cointelegraph, Shane Molidor, founder of blockchain consulting firm Forgd, warned that information asymmetry and front-running are spreading from the token market to institutional products such as DAT.
