The price of Humanity Protocol’s H token has risen roughly 43% in the last day, partially recovering from a $36 million hack last week. However, analysts believe this increase is likely a temporary reaction to the recent price drop rather than a sign of renewed trust in the project.
As an analyst, I’ve been tracking this token, and we saw a significant jump on Friday, trading around $0.217. What’s interesting is the 24-hour trading volume surged almost 89% to around $104 million. This bounce comes after a pretty steep drop earlier in the year. Right now, there haven’t been any major positive announcements, so it looks like this rally is mainly fueled by trader activity rather than any real fundamental changes.
A Bounce Off the Bottom
The recent price increase needs to be considered in light of the significant drop that happened before it. On June 8th and 9th, the price of H plummeted around 85% after a security breach led to losses of over $36 million, causing the token’s value to fall from nearly $0.73 to between $0.05 and $0.08.
Although H has risen 43% from its lowest point, it’s still significantly below where it was before the hacking incident. These kinds of increases often happen after a sharp, unexpected drop in price – quick-acting, risk-tolerant investors step in to buy. While the overall cryptocurrency market hasn’t moved much today, H is performing unusually well, likely due to speculation rather than a general market upturn.
No New Catalyst, Plenty of Overhang
The recent price increase doesn’t seem to be driven by any fundamental news, like a new partnership or product. It appears to be due to technical trading factors and a positive shift in feeling after the recent security breach. However, a large amount of available supply could limit how much the price can recover.
Recent data shows the attacker still possesses around 111 million H tokens, valued at approximately $14 million, which they created during the attack. This poses a risk, as these tokens could be sold at any moment. Adding to this concern, another 266 million H tokens—worth about $28 million and belonging to the foundation, a reserve fund, and investors—will become available on June 25th, increasing the token’s supply at a time when its price is already falling. Traders are closely monitoring whether the price can stay above $0.20 to $0.25, as this will indicate if the recent price increase is genuine or temporary.
A Trust Crisis the Bounce Doesn’t Fix
The main issue isn’t just the rally itself, but the fact that it doesn’t fix the damage to the platform’s reputation caused by the recent hack. The hack wasn’t due to a flaw in the code; it happened because someone accidentally left sensitive security information on a laptop, giving attackers access and allowing them to create a huge number of fake tokens. This was a basic security mistake, not a problem with the underlying technology.
Despite this, the incident has made some people in the community suspicious. CCN reports that the way the breach happened looked similar to how people usually withdraw funds when leaving a platform, leading some to wonder if it was used as a way to secretly sell off assets. Concerns have also been raised about the founder, Terence Kwok, and his history, including a previous startup called Tink Labs which failed in 2019.
Reports indicate no proof links past issues to the recent hack, and the project claims it was targeted in a deliberate external attack. While The Crypto Times hasn’t confirmed rumors of an ‘exit scam,’ the fact that people are questioning the project’s integrity highlights how much work it needs to do to regain trust and ensure any future price increase is sustainable.
What to Watch
Currently, the market shows some optimism, but it’s risky. If the price stays consistently above $0.20 to $0.25, it suggests a real upward trend, not just a temporary jump. However, if it falls below that range, the price could drop again.
The most immediate dangers are clear: any activity from the attacker’s remaining accounts, the release of more tokens on June 25th, and whether Humanity Protocol can offer a convincing solution, either through compensation or buying back tokens. Until these issues are addressed, today’s price increase doesn’t seem like a true recovery, but rather a temporary and unstable break in an ongoing problem.
