Crypto Pump and Dump via Deep Learning Techniques
Despite the fact that cryptocurrencies themselves have experienced an astonishing rate of adoption over the last decade, cryptocurrency fraud detection is a heavily under-researched problem area. Of all fraudulent activity regarding cryptocurrencies, pump and dump schemes are some of the most common. Though some studies have been done on these kinds of scams in the stock market, the lack of labelled stock data and the volatility unique to the cryptocurrency space constrains the applicability of studies on the stock market toward this problem domain. Furthermore, the only work done in this space thus far has been either statistical in nature, or has been concerned with classical machine learning models such as random forest trees. We propose the novel application of two existing neural network architectures to this problem domain and show that deep learning solutions can significantly outperform all other existing pump and dump detection methods for cryptocurrencies.
