Resumen
The popularity of cryptocurrencies has skyrocketed in recent years, with blockchain technologies enabling the development of new digital assets. However, along with their advantages, such as lower transaction costs, increased security, and transactional transparency, cryptocurrencies have also become susceptible to various forms of market manipulation. The pump and dump (P&D) scheme is of significant concern among these manipulation tactics. Despite the growing awareness of P&D activities in cryptocurrency markets, a comprehensive survey is needed to explore the detection methods. This paper aims to fill this gap by reviewing the literature on P&D detection in the cryptocurrency world. This survey provides valuable insights into detecting and classifying P&D schemes in the cryptocurrency market by analyzing the selected studies, including their definitions and the taxonomies of P&D schemes, the methodologies employed, their strengths and weaknesses, and the proposed solutions. Presented here are insights that can guide future research in this field and offer practical approaches to combating P&D manipulations in cryptocurrency trading.
