SIREN Token Plunges 85% in 24 Hours
The SIREN cryptocurrency token, an AI-driven project on the BNB Chain, suffered a dramatic 85 percent price collapse over the past 24 hours, erasing billions in market value and intensifying long-standing concerns about manipulation and centralization in the sector. The token, which had surged to an all-time high of approximately $3.60 just days earlier with a market capitalization exceeding $2 billion, plummeted to around $0.285 on Binance perpetual futures contracts, reducing its market cap to roughly $200 million.
The rapid decline followed a period of explosive growth that propelled SIREN into the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap, surpassing assets like Pi Network's PI token. Trading data from platforms including Binance, CoinGecko, and CoinMarketCap showed the drop beginning in the early trading hours, with overwhelming selling pressure overwhelming buy-side support and triggering a cascade of liquidations. Spot markets on decentralized exchanges mirrored the futures turmoil, amplifying the panic as liquidity evaporated. This marked one of the steepest single-day corrections for a BNB Chain project in recent months, coming without any apparent broader market trigger.
