@rtsideliver@OisinKyne The thing is, they work directly with institutions on a B2B basis, and those institutions just pay money straight into the company’s account. They’re financially secure. Meanwhile, we’re the suckers waiting around for crypto protocols like Lido to add more clusters.
@rtsideliver@OisinKyne Remember when these fraudsters made it their goal for the year to finally sort out the token, back when it was trading at $0.08? Protocol-owned liquidity, Obol Engine… lol. What a bunch of liars. I hope the law catches up with them.
They’re not going to do that.
First, they have 32 investors. It would be basically impossible to get all of them coordinated.
Second, the company is registered in Switzerland and they are public. If they tried to pump the price, they could face criminal liability for market manipulation.
No major player can sell their tokens because there is no real price and no liquidity.
@PanteraCapital sold their full allocation OTC a long time ago, at a completely different price.
What you should really be asking is this: why isn’t a single investor, including @etherealvc and @archetypevc, buying tokens to average down?
They put in millions at $0.10 and $0.25. At this price, they could average down aggressively.
But nobody is buying.
To recover the price and actually support it, they would need another few dozen million dollars. Investors understand that this @Obol_Collective is a dead project with no adoption, and they are not putting any more money into it.

A team member who received 3.2M OBOL tokens for their work just moved their unlocked allocation to sell today.
Meanwhile, the team keeps telling everyone that everything is fine.

What makes this even more interesting: this wallet appears to be linked to Obol’s CEO and CTO @OisinKyne
And we are still supposed to believe that @Obol_Collective is the “staking endgame” that will power hundreds of billions of dollars in value?

@rtsideliver@Obol_Collective If they actually wanted to restore the price, they would invest money into the token. But they clearly don’t want to part with the money that is already in their pockets.
@OisinKyne@_Cryptoma
@rtsideliver That’s exactly how it will be. Financially, this project is dead. They are just creating the appearance of activity so they can keep spending investors’ money without too much pressure. All the key players have already left.
@Obol_Collective $obol
@rtsideliver@Obol_Collective@PanteraCapital@DefiIgnas No, bro, they had 22M tokens. Here are the wallets where they received their allocation: 0x06633E33127257712c9f30e1949f47BEe7D17A1d —

@archetypevc also had around 20M

Fun one: $OBOL 'DAO' removed the investor vesting cliff replacing lockups with 'voluntary commitments to hold.'
A ~33% unlock was ~1 week away before the decision.
They cited a Pantera conviction thesis as the proof of conviction.
But Pantera's allocation got consolidated months ago and 17.67M OBOL moved to Bybit to sell.
And Bybit delisted $OBOL yesterday.
$OBOL is down ~50% since the DAO decision.
Although there was no DAO voting, just the announcement.
