• Title: Pump, Dump, and then What? The Long-Term Impact of Cryptocurrency Pump-and-Dump Schemes
• Authors: Joshua Clough, Matthew Edwards,
• Abstract summary: We study the long-term impact of pump and dump schemes on 765 coins. Despite a short-term positive impact in some cases, the long-term impact of pump and dump schemes on the targeted assets is negative, amounting to an average 30% relative drop in price a year after the pump event.

• Abstract: The pump and dump scheme is a form of market manipulation attack in which coordinated actors drive up the price of an asset in order to sell at a higher price. Due in part to a lack of enforcement, these schemes are widespread within the cryptocurrency marketplace, but the negative impact of these events on the coins they target is not yet fully understood. Drawing upon a novel dataset of pump events extracted from Telegram channels, an order of magnitude larger than the nearest comparable dataset in the literature, we explore the differing tactics of pumping channels and the long-term impact of pump and dump schemes across 765 coins. We find that, despite a short-term positive impact in some cases, the long-term impact of pump and dump schemes on the targeted assets is negative, amounting to an average 30% relative drop in price a year after the pump event.

  Multi-step stock price prediction over a long-term horizon is crucial for forecasting its volatility. Current solutions to multi-step stock price prediction are mostly designed for single-step, classification-based predictions. We combine a deep hierarchical variational-autoencoder (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic techniques to do seq2seq stock prediction. Our model is shown to outperform state-of-the-art solutions in terms of its prediction accuracy and variance.

  We discuss the relation between this deviation from quantized charge pumping and the entanglement generation after a pumping circle. We propose a solvable pumping scheme in the Rice--Mele--Hubbard model, which can be represented as brick-wall type quantum circuit model.

• Detecting Pump&Dump Stock Market Manipulation from Online Forums [0.0]
  Manipulators accumulate small-cap stocks, disseminate false information on social media to inflate their price, and sell at the peak. We collect a dataset of stocks whose price and volume profiles have the characteristic shape of a pump&dump. We build predictive models for pump&dump events based on the language used in the social media posts.

  This paper focuses on predicting the pump probability of all coins listed in the target exchange before a scheduled pump time. We conduct a comprehensive study of the latest 709 P&D events organized in Telegram from Jan. 2019 to Jan. 2022. We develop a novel sequence-based neural network, dubbed SNN, which encodes a channel's P&D event history into a sequence representation.

  This paper performs an in-depth analysis of two market manipulations organized by communities over the Internet: The pump and dump and the crowd pump. The pump and dump scheme is a fraud as old as the stock market. Now, it got new vitality in the loosely regulated market of cryptocurrencies. We report on three case studies related to pump and dump groups.

  A key component for the successful renewable energy sources integration is the usage of energy storage. We propose a novel modelling framework for the strategic participation of energy storage in the European continuous intraday market. An distributed version of the fitted Q algorithm is chosen for solving this problem due to its sample efficiency. Results indicate that the agent converges to a policy that achieves in average higher total revenues than the benchmark strategy.
