June 9th – On-chain data analyst Yu Jin shared on social media today that besides the one billion H Tokens minted by the “hacker” one hour ago, over 2 billion H Tokens sold in the preceding hours were transferred from roughly 300 wallets that unlocked their tokens two weeks prior and 11 wallets that received tokens 11 months ago. These wallets also withdrew gas from Gate and Bybit exchanges three weeks ago.

According to monitoring from Onchain Lens, on June 9, the hacker associated with Humanity Protocol minted another 1 billion tokens just 10 minutes ago. Notably, each of the previous 1 billion tokens was exchanged for 774 BNB.

June 9: ZachXBT responded to Humanity’s official announcement on social media, noting it’s time to launch a new H token since the core team has moved on to other projects. In his reply, ZachXBT included a screenshot of a tweet Irene Zhao posted 20 hours prior, where Zhao claimed her two-year-old investment in H’s KOL round had generated a 100x return. She also mentioned she has invested in Everything, a new project hatched by the H team.

On June 9, per Onchain Lens monitoring, despite Humanity Protocol falling victim to a hack, a newly created wallet received 62.68 million H tokens worth $7.65 million from BitGo. The wallet is likely linked to venture capital firm Framework Ventures, pending confirmation.

On June 9, Sahara AI released an official statement on social media, noting that its team is actively monitoring a 60% plunge in the token’s price. The team confirmed there are no security issues with its token contract or product, and has launched an internal investigation to get to the bottom of what’s causing these recent price swings.
