Metahero (HERO), the BSC-based native token of the Metahero ecosystem, begins the month of July on bullish grounds after witnessing a 25% drop in June due to the prevalent market retracement.
Unlike July, HERO started June with bearish pressure, witnessing three consecutive days of turbulence at the beginning of the month on the back of a downtrend that spilled from May. This was largely due to the overall bearish conditions in the market, which saw Bitcoin (BTC) give up most of its March gains.
Launched in 2021, the HERO token is crucial to the Metahero ecosystem, granting holders special access and benefits. As a utility token, HERO supports transactions on the ecosystem’s NFT marketplace and royalty payments. It boasts a deflationary model, which reduces its supply over time and bolsters scarcity.
On June 21, Metahero announced the launch of its phone application where users could create and customize their avatars, and manage their HERO holdings.

The token’s June downtrend persisted throughout the month, leading to the 25.21% collapse. This marked the HERO’s third straight losing month, following a 19.92% drop in May and a 26.92% collapse in April. These declines have pushed it into a 34% slump year-to-date despite the gains witnessed in February and March.
