Hyperliquid gains ground on centralized exchanges as perps market share nears 6% theblock.co/post/395728/hy…

@HyperliquidNews cooking

The 24-hour trading volume for the S&P500 is at an all-time high of $515 million.

@HYPEconomist Imma steal this pic haha

CT’s reaction to every 1% move stop using leverage if you can’t handle it

@SageWhale let the product speak for itself

Hyperliquid doesn't do marketing

Update: $230M+ USDC bridged via CCTP from Solana to Ethereum across 100+ txns. 6 hours is how long Circle had to freeze stolen funds from the $280M+ Drift hack. Circle is a centralized stablecoin issuer headquartered in New York and the attack began around 12 pm ET. Why does our industry allow them to stay silent? @jerallaire @circle @usdc

uh oh not over till the fat lady sings hyperliquid

@gabrielhaines @DriftProtocol @circle BRO😭

.@DriftProtocol team trying to freeze usdc after hack @circle

Anyone who thinks this cant happen to Hyperliquid is also an idiot btw Every single thing in crypto is vulnerable

you literally can’t make this up WhiteWhale lost most of his portfolio in 10/10, and right after, he moved all his portfolio from hyperliquid to DRIFT and posted his DRIFT thesis (probably paid) Now, DRIFT has been drained for 60%+ of its TVL some say unlucky guy… others say karma. there’s only one hyperliquid.

Drift Protocol is experiencing an active attack. Deposits and withdrawals have been suspended. We are coordinating with multiple security firms, bridges, and exchanges to contain the incident. This is not an April Fools joke. We’ll provide additional updates from this account as more information is available to share.

@solwizzo how did you detect it so early?

Pulling funds off $drift. Something isn't right here...

@CryptoVikings07 😭

DeFis are fun You get like 6-10% yield on your capital But your capital gets hacked once a year

@WhiteWhaleLabs Hyperliquid

A Difficult Personal Decision I’ve made the personal decision to step away from trading on HyperLiquid. And I want to stress that word - personal (and difficult). I’m not asking anyone to follow me. I’m simply acting in alignment with where my values have moved. Most of you have watched my thinking evolve over time. That’s what we’re supposed to do as human beings: evolve, refine, shed old frameworks, and build better ones. And look - I know you’re not supposed to develop an emotional attachment to a protocol, but HyperLiquid was different for me. Jeff built something the market desperately needed. He dragged structural fairness into the spotlight and paved the way for a better conversation. He and the HL team deserve their chapter in crypto’s history books. I personally hope they continue to write new ones. But if you’ve followed me for any length of time, you also know I’m an idealist - maybe to a fault - and I can’t turn off the portion of my brain that not only can see things as they currently are but continues to believe in what they should be. 10/10 ripped the mask off the industry for the new folks. Or for those who’ve been around long enough, it simply reminded us how fragile and easily manipulated this ecosystem still is. The fact that one centralized exchange can trigger a global liquidation cascade and force temporary price dislocations across every protocol? That’s not a “black swan.” That’s a design flaw. Here’s a short recap: Binance relied on its own oracle - which depegged a stablecoin. That started a smaller, but manageable, liquidation chain. The real chaos began when their API mysteriously went offline. Market makers, who operate largely delta-neutral, suddenly couldn’t hedge on their primary venue. With hedging impossible, they pulled quotes across CEXs and DEXs. With no liquidity present, price falls off a cliff. And across the industry? Victory laps. “Zero bad debt!” “Liquidations processed flawlessly!” Great. The protocol didn’t die. But users did. Protecting the protocol IS important - obviously. But it is not the same thing as protecting traders. If we want broader adoption, if we want legitimacy, if we want crypto to grow without getting handcuffed by regulators, we have to start building real consumer protection into our systems. TradFi has circuit breakers, obligations for MMs, structural guardrails. Crypto has...hope. And an instruction manual that says, “Good luck out there!” So why am I leaving HyperLiquid? Because I choose to back teams who are actively trying to solve these design flaws, not merely observe them. I’ve spoken with Jeff and another member of the Core 11. They don’t appear to see this as part of the roadmap right now. That’s their choice and I respect it. And to be clear - nobody has a perfect fix. There is no silver bullet. What matters to me is who’s walking toward solutions rather than ignoring the problem. We lost people on 10/10. Real lives were ended. Real families were destroyed. Over...a design flaw allowing one entity to control the world? Crypto doesn’t get to just sweep that under the rug. So the question becomes: Who’s actually building protections that might prevent the next Binance-induced disaster? On Solana, I’ve only found one. Drift’s liquidation protection isn’t magic. It’s not flawless. But it exists - and more importantly, it worked. It checks: “Is the oracle price diverging by more than 50% from the 5-minute TWAP?” If yes it simply puts a temporary halt on liquidations. That single line of logic saved a lot of people. Scam wicks get filtered. The insurance fund catches the edge cases. It’s not some grand philosophical overhaul - it’s simply a meaningful step toward sanity. I’m not as brilliant as Jeff. I don’t pretend to know the best way to solve this at scale. But I am a customer - and customers vote with their dollars. The industry keeps repeating, “Protecting the protocol is protecting the trader.” But that’s not the full picture. A car isn’t complete without a driver. Both are equally important to the beautiful symbiosis that exists. This is a heartbreaking post to write. This isn’t a Drift advertisement. It feels more like a gut-wrenching breakup with a first love - not because the love disappeared, but because you finally recognize that you’re growing in different directions. HL will always be a part of my story. It’ll stay on my shortlist whenever people ask where to trade. But it’s time for me to move forward - toward my values, toward my ideals - and to say to Jeff and the team, with real appreciation: we’ll always have Paris. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

@DriftProtocol “we are observing unusual activity” translation: we just realized we got exploited

We are observing unusual activity on the protocol. We are currently investigating. Please do not deposit funds into the protocol while we investigate. This is not an April Fools joke. Proceed with caution until further notice. We’ll provide additional updates from this account.
