Siren (SIREN), a Binance-based memecoin, extended its sell-off by more than 62% across the last two trading days, trading at $0.875 at press time. Over a 24-hour window, its market cap fell from $1.835 billion to $637.42 million, while volume slipped 14.81% to $90.87 million.

US lawmakers unveiled a draft Digital Asset PARITY Act on Friday that would adjust tax rules for digital assets but drew criticism for leaving Bitcoin (BTC) outside key relief.
