The story of POPCAT being manipulated on Hyperliquid,
And as usual,
Hyperliquid steers public opinion towards CZ and Aster,
👉Reminds me of the hacks that occurred in the network related to the US,
but the articles on the platform in the US shift towards North Korean hackers,
😅There, one can see how Binance and Aster are threatening Hyperliquid,
-----------
Event summary:
🔥Drama $30M on Hyperliquid
- A trader withdrew $3M USDC from OKX and distributed it into 19 wallets. He started to open a large long position on $POPCAT (total position up to $20–30M).
- Then placed a buy wall of $30M at the price of 0.21 to create the feeling of strong buying power, pulling others into FOMO.
👉
But unexpectedly, this buy wall on the order book was removed.
- The price crashed immediately => all $POPCAT positions were burned in seconds.
- Trader lost all $3M
- The HLP system of Hyperliquid had to bear an additional $4.9M
=> $POPCAT halved in price
Hyperliquid had to intervene and temporarily suspend withdrawals on the Arbitrum network.
Many people suspect this is not a bug, but an attack or stress test aimed at the liquidity system of the exchange.
❗
This is already the third time Hyperliquid has encountered a major incident this year after JellyJelly and XRP
