STBL Token Plunges 80% Amid Insider Trading Allegations and Stablecoin Crisis
The STBL governance token, central to a "Stablecoin 2.0" protocol co-founded by Tether's Reeve Collins, collapsed 80% from its September 2025 peak of $0.60 to $0.08, wiping out retail investors as blockchain sleuths uncovered $10 million in coordinated trades linked to Tornado Cash-obscured wallets.
Bubblemaps' forensic analysis revealed five interconnected addresses executed bot-driven maneuvers—borrowing USDC from Venus Protocol before timing trades during STBL's volatile launch phase, fueling suspicions of insider advantage-taking.
Market confidence eroded further as the project's USST stablecoin depegged in October, compounding scrutiny over whether privileged information enabled selective profiteering during the token's ill-fated debut.
