Dump
a.k.a. Dumping
To sell heavily and quickly, often driving the price sharply down.
In plain English
To sell heavily and quickly, often driving the price sharply down.
To dump is to sell hard, without caring much about price. 'Someone is dumping euros' means a big seller is hitting every bid.
In crypto it is famously paired with pump: a 'pump and dump' is a scheme where insiders hype a coin and then sell into the buyers they lured in. That is market manipulation and illegal in regulated markets.
