When liquidity is removed from LMT trading pools, traders will be unable to purchase or sell any meaningful amount of the tokens without suffering a large loss of value on their trade.
The team advised traders to avoid buying or selling LMT tokens until they concluded their research and identified the next best line of action, which they did early on Jan. 11.
