The Sahara AI token ($SAHARA) experienced a free fall on November 29, 2025, losing more than half its value in less than a day — becoming the second largest collapse this month after the Nillion token ($NIL).
🔍 What exactly happened?
The price fell from $0.081 → $0.0346 within a few hours.
The market value dropped from $200 million → less than $110 million.
Trading volume surged by more than 680% due to a panic sell-off.
The main circulating reason: Whales fear the unlocking of 133 million tokens (5.3%) on December 26, which drove them to sell early and aggressively.
The team confirmed that there was no breach of smart contracts and considered the incident a "natural fluctuation."
💥 The collapse of $NIL previously
On November 20, the token collapsed by 60% within minutes after a rogue market maker sold massive amounts in one go.
The team intervened by freezing accounts and buyback operations, which restored part of the trust.
Is it deliberate destruction or a domino effect?
The scene strongly indicates a domino effect that began since the disaster on October 10 when 19 billion dollars were liquidated due to the return of trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
With the fear and greed index reaching only 22 points, the market became very fragile, and any negative news turned into a dramatic collapse.
