Here's something wild about Monad's tokenomics: market makers are sitting on 160 million MON tokens with absolutely zero lockup restrictions. Meanwhile, the team and VCs? They're stuck with a one-year lock. Guess who can start selling right now?
This setup explains why MON is trading around a $250 million market cap despite the project raising $431 million. The math doesn't lie—when entities whose entire profit model revolves around extracting liquidity have instant access to massive token supplies, early buyers aren't catching dips. They're becoming exit liquidity.
The asymmetry here is brutal: insiders locked, but the folks who specialize in dumping tokens can move freely from day one. That's not a bug in traditional market making—it's the feature. And it's exactly why valuations deflate fast post-launch when supply dynamics favor professional sellers over retail enthusiasm.

This is why I say that market makers are always the biggest market makers...

It's the same old trick again. The girls are directly dumping without any lock-in, while the team ends up trapped for a year. This logic is unbelievable.

Now let's drop to zero directly, we can't let the market maker succeed.

That is the market maker ultimately abandoning the Rug Pull, leaving the bottom for the community, it has been an eyewash from the beginning.
