In Financial Markets, What Is the Closest Analogy to a ‘51% Attack’ in Terms of Market Manipulation?

The closest analogy to a 51% attack in traditional financial markets is a "cornering the market" scheme. This involves an entity acquiring a controlling share of a particular asset, derivative, or commodity to manipulate its price and supply.

By controlling the majority, they can dictate terms, squeeze short sellers, and artificially inflate the price, similar to how a 51% attacker controls the transaction validation process.
