Article Content
- •Humanity Protocol's token surged 42% to $0.50 following a phishing attack on June 8.

Humanity Protocol's token experienced a 42% price surge to $0.50 following a phishing attack on June 8 that compromised administrative credentials. An independent investigation by Quantstamp revealed that the attacker upgraded contracts, moved tokens on Ethereum, and minted new H tokens on BNB Chain. Despite the recovery, security concerns linger as the market capitalization exceeded $800 million. The derivatives market saw a significant increase in Open Interest, rising 131% to $213.10 million, indicating new positions rather than rollovers. The rapid rise in leverage poses liquidation risks if market sentiment shifts. The price recovery has led to forced short liquidations, further driving the rebound. The critical resistance level is now at $0.718, with the psychological target of $1.00 looming if bullish momentum continues.
