Dumping on retail = selling without institutional sell side coverage.
When there is sell side coverage, institutions rely on it, and dumping is an opportunity for buyers.
The crypto VC scam is vesting structures that occur before regulated sell side coverage is in place and regulated sell side coverage is coming to crypto on 2026.
I think we find out in the next few weeks that if a token doesn’t qualify as a commodity, it will not be well positioned for the new inflows if:
-the founder can’t periodically register with the SEC
-minimal disclosure subject the founder to liability for improper dealing
