MANTRA Token Crashes 18% to All-Time Low as Chain Halts
OM token hit a record low as the MANTRA blockchain went offline, forcing exchanges to pause deposits and withdrawals.
MANTRA's OM token just got wrecked. The asset plunged 18% to a fresh all-time low, a brutal move that wiped out any remaining bullish thesis for near-term holders. If you were sitting long, that stings.
The pain didn't stop at the price drop. MANTRA Chain itself halted operations, and exchanges responded fast — pausing both deposits and withdrawals tied to the network.

The token did claw back some ground, recovering to around $0.0044 after hitting its low. But a partial bounce after a record-breaking dump doesn't flip the narrative. That level now acts as a technical ceiling until the chain proves it can stay online and exchanges reopen the gates.
The exchange-level halt is the detail traders need to watch most closely here.

When chains halt and CEXs follow suit, volatility doesn't disappear — it compresses, then snaps.
This is a high-risk situation with no clear resolution timeline. Until MANTRA Chain resumes normal operations and exchange restrictions lift, OM is effectively a trapped trade. Continue reading at Cointelegraph.
