In a Foresight News report published on November 12, 2026, at 14:45:53 (UTC+08:00), Huma co-founder Richard Liu addressed recent discussion of HUMA and its trading activity.
According to Liu, a hacker attacked an early liquidity provider’s wallet on October 22, after which roughly 12 million HUMA tokens received through an airdrop were sold. He said open interest—the amount of outstanding derivatives contracts—rose from about 620 million to 1.1 billion HUMA between November 2 and November 7. Funding rates turned negative starting November 4, while perpetual-contract trading volume reached 7–10 times spot volume. He said market activity appeared concentrated in perpetual contracts.
Liu also said the Huma Foundation and its affiliated entities had not traded HUMA in the preceding three months and planned not to sell tokens during the upcoming unlock window. An unlock makes previously restricted tokens available; it does not, by itself, mean they will be sold. Liu said the foundation had provided HUMA liquidity on decentralized exchanges since the token generation event (TGE). These statements describe the foundation’s reported activity and plans, not a guarantee about future trading or HUMA’s price.
