The H token plummeted by 90% overnight, and hackers made off with 30 million.

Around June 9, 2026, an on-chain warning about the Humanity Protocol quickly went viral. Multiple monitoring platforms almost simultaneously focused on the same group of addresses: wallets associated with a relatively quiet project suddenly began making large asset transfers outward, with the recipient addresses exhibiting highly concentrated characteristics, being continuously flagged as suspected hacker-controlled. As institutions such as Onchain Lens updated their data, the initial estimated loss of approximately 19 million dollars was continuously revised upward to over 31 million dollars, with the hacker converting a large amount of H tokens held on-chain into ETH and then transferring it out in batches. The reaction on the price front was equally brutal, as reported by HTX Market and multiple media outlets, with H tokens plummeting approximately 91.01% within 24 hours, the current price falling to about 0.06377 dollars, and market sentiment rapidly deteriorating. On the surface, this appears to be a common project security incident, but as the financial pathways continued to unfold on-chain, and by June 9, the official response had yet to provide a clear explanation, a single-point attack was rapidly evolving into an on-chain storm surrounding trust and expectations.

H Token Crash: A Night of Losing Ninety Percent of Its Price

According to HTX Market and media TechFlow reports, during the same time window when Humanity-associated addresses were exposed to be under a hacker attack, H tokens experienced a decline of approximately 91.01% within 24 hours, with the price being driven down to about 0.06377 dollars. On the charts, this appeared more like a sudden "run" imbalance: buying pressure quickly receded, and orders were continuously breached, with the previously significant project size compressed into residual chips overnight, and the market capitalization wiped out in a very short time. For secondary market participants, the price curve offered little opportunity for a graceful exit, more so transitioning directly from "correction" into the psychological drop of "liquidation."

From an on-chain perspective, when hackers exchanged their H tokens for ETH and continued to transfer it out, creating substantial selling pressure, the panic selling in the secondary market highly overlapped in time. The combination of technical sell-offs and emotional sell-offs magnified what could have been "controllable volatility" into a day of extreme market conditions with a 90% plunge. It is important to emphasize that it is currently not possible to precisely split how much of the decline resulted from hacker cashing out and how much from market-induced panic based on existing information. However, one can confirm that, under the premise that the attack pathway remains unclear and the team has yet to provide a clear response, the exposure of on-chain risks combined with the collapse of off-chain confidence constitutes the key background for this price crash. For holders, the market conditions of that night represented not only a drastic shrinkage of numerical values but also a collective denial of the long-term narrative of the project.

The Outflow of Funds Did Not Stop: Associated Addresses Continued to Transfer Out

The price collapsed instantly, yet the bleeding on-chain did not cease. According to Onchain Lens announcements, the fund outflow from Humanity Protocol's associated addresses has continued even after initially being discovered, with the assets stolen from related wallets being cleared out one by one. Monitoring platforms like SpecterAnalyst and Onchain Lens previously estimated the initial loss range to be around 19 million dollars; today, this figure has been collectively revised to exceed 31 million dollars, which in itself indicates that the abnormal outflow is not a "one-time event," but rather a slow yet certain expansion over a number of days.

From the visible on-chain pathways, the hacker's operations were relatively restrained yet sufficiently deadly: first exchanging the acquired H tokens for ETH, then gradually disassembling the obtained ETH and transferring it to more new addresses to reduce the likelihood of subsequent tracking and freezing. However, it remains unclear at which point a fatal vulnerability emerged, or how exactly the attack was executed; as of June 9, the project team has not provided a complete technical review, and monitoring parties can only make interval estimates based on existing transaction records. With the root cause of the attack still unknown and loss figures continuing to be passively updated, each new transfer out serves as a reminder to holders that this crisis has not yet entered a true aftermath phase.

Pando Rings Hackers Resurface

Just as the details of the Humanity Protocol attack remained a fog, another familiar "old ghost" trajectory on-chain was illuminated. According to data released by Lookonchain, addresses previously attributed to the old case of Pando Rings began to actively cash out within a similar time frame: ETH purchased at lower prices was gradually sold off, totaling 6,240 ETH sold, exchanged for about 10.29 million DAI, with book profits exceeding 290,000 dollars. These funds, in themselves, came from past attack events' profits, now pushed to the forefront of on-chain transaction records, situated under the same macro-security narrative as the Humanity event but clearly belongs to another independent case clue.

For these hacker addresses that have taken no action for a long time, the drastic fluctuation itself can be designed as an arbitrage stage: on one side, the H tokens still flowing out in the new case along with continuously refreshed loss estimates; on the other side, the funds from old cases quietly switched from ETH to DAI amidst market noise, locking in profits and moving away from price fluctuation ranges. In a highly asymmetric information environment, ordinary holders find it hard to discern the specific motivation behind these transfers, only seeing superficial signals like “hackers are selling” and “old cases are cashing out.” Under this narrative, each transaction from old-case hackers becomes a tangible annotation that amplifies security anxiety and price uncertainty.

The Impact on Projects and Communities Under Trust Collapse

As hackers exchanged a large amount of H tokens in the Humanity-associated wallet for ETH and continued to transfer out, while monitoring parties like Onchain Lens estimated losses rising from about 19 million dollars to over 31 million dollars, reports from HTX Market and media TechFlow indicated that H tokens plummeted approximately 91.01% within 24 hours, to around 0.06377 dollars, which almost instantaneously amplified the “security incident” into a “trust incident.” For external observers, the on-chain addresses being compromised, enormous assets being emptied, and tokens dropping by ninety percent overnight easily combine to be interpreted as serious gaps in the overall security and governance abilities of the project, with the token ecosystem expectations built around Humanity rapidly depreciated.

In such drastic fluctuations, the internal cohesion of the community is likely to be weakened: some may tend to exit in panic, some may anticipate self-rescue plans from the project team, and there may be intense debates surrounding accountability; potential collaborators and developers see a “large amount, unclear root cause” incident, making it more likely to choose to watch from the sidelines or even suspend cooperation in the short term. As of June 9, 2026, public materials show that the Humanity Protocol team has yet to provide a formal written response regarding the cause of the attack, confirmation of losses, and handling plans. Media and community discussions remain more focused on asset losses, price crashes, and security concerns. In the absence of an authoritative explanation, uncertainty itself has become an additional burden on emotions, making the difficulty of restoring trust significantly higher than mere price recovery.

Viewing On-Chain Security's New Game from the Humanity Event

Placing the Humanity Protocol associated addresses encountering tens of millions of dollars stolen and the H tokens plummeting approximately 91.01% within 24 hours alongside the Pando Rings old-case hackers recently selling 6,240 ETH and profiting over 290,000 dollars on the same timeline reveals that on-chain security is no longer a "one-time accident," but a long-term ongoing game coexisting with you and me in an open ledger: once critical addresses of new projects are compromised, attackers can exchange large amounts of H tokens for ETH and transfer them out in a short time, instantly providing feedback with a 90% price drop; while old-case hackers quietly complete cashing out from previous funds on the other side, indicating that the residual risks from historical attacks will continually return to the center stage for a long time to come. For project teams, this means the conditions for survival are being rewritten: they must invest more resources into foundational security construction in a high-risk environment, conduct drills for technical bleeding control, loss verification, and decision-making processes after an attack, and provide clear, ongoing public responses promptly after an attack occurs. Otherwise, in the vacuum of "lack of attack details and absence of official statements," trust will dissipate faster than asset loss. For ordinary participants, important observable variables are no longer merely short-term prices but whether there will be substantial official disclosures, accountability for internal errors and possible compensation pathways (if any), whether core contracts are upgraded and reinforced, and the recovery progress of ecosystem applications. These specific actions will ultimately determine whether projects like Humanity can rebuild even limited on-chain trust over significant scars.
