Mantra's Co-Founder On The Meteoric Rise of OM, Market Maker Rumors, and UAE Relationships

We filmed this interview with John Patrick Mullen during consensus Hong Kong, in late Feburary 2025.

From obscurity to a $13 billion market cap, OM token's 7,000% surge and recent 90% downfall has left many questioning what's really happening behind the scenes?

We aim to provide some clarity from before the crash to help you all understand what was happening. The most revealing is what happens when we press on the tougher questions about price action, market makers, tokenomics, and whether this meteoric rise could unravel as quickly as it formed (seems it has, for now).

What a wild ride the last few days. Hopefully this provides some perspective.
