  One method that can be used to manipulate the supply of a cryptocurrency is through a process called 'pump and dump.' This involves artificially inflating the price of a cryptocurrency by spreading positive rumors and creating hype, which attracts new investors. Once the price has reached a certain level, the manipulators sell off their holdings, causing the price to crash and leaving other investors with losses.

  Another way to manipulate the supply of a cryptocurrency is through 'wash trading.' This involves creating fake buy and sell orders to create the illusion of high trading volume. By artificially inflating the trading volume, manipulators can create a false sense of demand and drive up the price of the cryptocurrency.
