KuCoin reportedly influencing users to sell SHIB tokens
According to a recent report, KuCoin influenced users on the exchange to sell their Shiba Inu tokens. As per a leaked email, the platform provided its users the opportunity to short SHIB and gain 5x leverage.
Here's how KuCoin supposedly influenced users
According to a report, KuCoin has asked Shiba Inu token holders to short their SHIB tokens and provided leverage of 5x for the same. Furthermore, the exchange is providing as much as $15,000 in reward for indulging in such transactions. A Reddit user shared a leaked email who claims that the firm has talked of giving away rewards in the said mail."Dear valued KuCoin user, SHIB/USDT price decreased by 34.6% last week, if you short $1,000 with 5x leverage, now it will be worth $2,730. Go to trade SHIB contract, profit more from the market fluctuation, and share a reward pool of $15,000," the email from the exchange read.
The said manipulation of crypto prices is what needs to be tackled. The existence of outside figures and firms have always influenced crypto prices and is a major reason why the SEC rejected VanEck's spot Bitcoin ETF.
Investigation into the matter
A popular YouTuber and crypto enthusiast, Tom Zuzolo, dug deep into KuCoin and its price manipulation tactic. According to Zulolo, the firm is promoting a token by the name Torum Coin over Shiba Inu."In my opinion, this is a deliberate manipulation to try to take the energy out away from Shiba Inu and try to intersect and advertise Torum on their platform. Step one for them is to cut down Shiba Inu, step two is to introduce Torum as replacement. This is textbook manipulation," said the YouTuber in his video.Shiba Inu had the time of its life in the month of October, rising by more than 900%. However, the month of November has been stagnant for the token, with sluggish price growth. SHIB was listed in KuCoin in the month of May and since then, has come up a long way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
