The price of the SIREN token rose 185 percent over the last 24 hours, moving from approximately $0.13 to a high of $2.18 amid unusual on-chain activity.
"A single entity, identified as the SIREN market maker, has re-accumulated chips to gain control of over 93% of the token's total supply," according to on-chain analyst @EmberCN in a post monitored by our firm.
The concentration of supply in the hands of a single entity has created a highly illiquid market for the token. Data regarding the protocol's Total Value Locked (TVL) and revenue is not currently available, making a fundamental valuation difficult. The primary driver for the price action appears to be the market maker's on-chain accumulation.
This event creates a highly volatile environment for the SIREN token. While the price has increased dramatically, the concentration of ownership presents a significant risk of a sharp correction should the market maker decide to sell their holdings. The clear signs of price manipulation may attract short-term speculative traders but are likely to deter long-term investors seeking fundamentally sound projects.
