[ SLANG ][ CRYPTO ][ NOUN ]
Generating fake trading volume through wash trades specifically to make a token look more actively traded than it actually is on volume rankings and screeners, distinct from liquidity pool inflation, which manipulates the price itself rather than just the apparent volume.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The volume looked huge but it was all the same five wallets trading back and forth, classic volume spoofing to farm the trending page."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named directly by researchers studying meme coin manipulation, describing this specific tactic of targeting volume-based rankings and screener visibility rather than price charts.
