The token reached a low of $12.80 before rebounding slightly to $13.90 as of press time.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid is the largest decentralized perpetual exchange by trading volume, controlling more than 64% of the market.<\/p>\n<h2>What happened?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"880\">The protocol stated that a trader using the wallet address 0xf3f4 held a large Ethereum (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">ETH<\/a>) long position.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"880\">On-chain analyst EmberCN <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EmberCN\/status\/1899762108432298282\">reported<\/a> that the whale opened a 50x leveraged long position of 175,000 ETH, valued at approximately $340 million.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"880\">However, the trader later closed some of the position, withdrawing $17.09 million USDC. This move reduced the margin on the remaining 160,000 ETH long position, leading to large-scale liquidations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"880\">Hyperliquid confirmed the development but noted that the trader still managed to close with a profit of around $1.8 million. However, the event had a negative impact on HLP, which saw a $4 million loss during the reporting period.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1033\">Hyperliquid emphasized that HLP is not a risk-free strategy, though the vault maintains a historical net profit of approximately $60 million.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1033\">HLP acts as a community-driven liquidity vault within Hyperliquid\u2019s ecosystem. It supports market-making and liquidation strategies, allowing users to stake <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/usd-coin\/\">USDC<\/a> in exchange for a share of the platform\u2019s profits or losses.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1033\">This model brings institutional-level trading strategies to retail users, generating revenue through trading fees, funding rates, and liquidations. As of press time, the vaults have recorded a <a href=\"https:\/\/hypurrscan.io\/stats\">negative annualized return of 34%.<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1033\">Following this event, Hyperliquid stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1033\">&#8220;Max leverage will be updated for BTC and ETH to 40x and 25x respectively to increase maintenance margin requirements for larger positions. This will provide a better buffer for backstop liquidations of larger positions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyperliquid reported a $4 million loss in its Liquidity Provider (HLP) vaults within 24 hours.
