<p>The BRC-20 token RATS launched a boycott movement initiated by its community. This action stems from serious accusations leveled against the prominent cryptocurrency exchange, Gate. The central claim by the RATS community revolves around alleged fake trading volumes on Gate’s platform. Observations indicate that within a two-hour period (from 21:00 to 23:00 UTC+8)&nbsp; on December 4, the trading volume for RATS on Gate astonishingly exceeded 880 billion. This figure is particularly startling given that the total RATS tokens in circulation amount to 1 trillion.</p>

<p>The spotlight intensified on RATS following its listing on Gate in mid-November this year. After its introduction on the exchange, RATS witnessed a dramatic surge in its trading volume. However, this sudden spike in volume attracted widespread attention and skepticism, leading to allegations of artificial inflation of trading figures by Gate. The RATS community has taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice their concerns and initiate a boycott against the exchange.</p>
