Metaverse tokens plummeted 40% in a single day after skyrocketing! It is suspected that whales took advantage of the high point to sell in large quantities
The price of HIGH, the governance token of the Metaverse project Highstreet, has skyrocketed recently, rising by nearly 140% in just 16 days. Unexpectedly, it suddenly plummeted by more than 40% in a single day yesterday. The reason for the plunge is unknown, but it is suspected that a whale took advantage of the high point to sell in large quantities.
The price of HIGH, the governance token of Taiwan's VR metaverse business project Highstreet, has been eye-catching recently. Since May 23, it has soared from around $4, reaching a high of $9.768 on the 8th, with the maximum increase of nearly 140% in 16 days.
However, the price of HIGH suddenly collapsed since 12:00 noon on the 8th, with the deepest single-day plunge of nearly 50% to $4.56. As of press time, it has slightly rebounded to $5.019, and the decline in the past 24 hours is still as high as 31%.
Since there is no public negative news about HIGH, it is not known why the price suddenly plummeted, but it is worth noting that there are suspected whales taking advantage of the high point to ship. According to the monitoring of the on-chain analyst Ember, a HIGH investor address transferred 281,250 HIGH to Coinbase yesterday, worth $1.78 million, which may be ready to sell for profit.
Since December 2021, this address has received a total of 962,500 HIGH from the Highstreet investor token distribution address, and all of them have been transferred to centralized exchanges and may have been cashed out.
