SIREN plunged more than 70% on June 13, 2026, falling to around $0.14 after a multi-day decline and a sharp breakdown on the daily chart. During the drop, an analyst estimated a whale cluster controls at least 94% of SIREN’s 680 million supply and flagged roughly 17 million tokens (about $6.75M) moving across addresses. Derivatives positioning also cooled, with open interest retreating from a ~$98M peak on June 8 to near $33M as price rolled over.

Hyperliquid’s third-party HIP-3 commodities perps have grown quickly, but Blockworks Research argues the deployer economics are now showing strain.

On-chain trackers flagged a 75,000,000 USDT transfer leaving a Binance-associated wallet on Ethereum. The transaction (hash: 0x0b880…8abc7) moved funds to an external address, while the recipient and purpose remain unclear.

He argued that stablecoins backed by dollars or U.S. Treasuries can increase demand for the dollar, while clearer crypto rules could improve payments and reduce transaction costs. The measure still needs Senate passage, reconciliation with the House version, final approval in both chambers, and the president’s signature before it can become law.
