Hyperliquid Suffers Another Attack, 'Unplugging the Ethernet Cable' Saves $200M | Timeline
Tonight, just after experiencing the "Insider Whale" long liquidation event, Hyperliquid is facing another position drama. Due to a price surge in a meme token called JELLY, Hyperliquid's opposing book vault is on the verge of liquidation, putting the entire protocol's treasury at risk of depletion. At the same time, centralized exchanges (CEX) have taken advantage of the situation, swiftly listing the JELLY contract to target Hyperliquid with sniper attacks and hunting.
As of now, Hyperliquid has forcefully delisted the JELLY contract and liquidated 3.92 billion JELLY short positions at a favorable price of $0.0095 (approximately $3.72 million), resulting in a profit of $703,000. Meanwhile, the HYPER price experienced a momentary dip from around $16 to $13 before rebounding and currently holding above $14. This action has sparked intense discussions in the community about the competition between CEX and Perp DEX, as well as the decentralization issues within on-chain protocols.
Disclaimer: This event is still unfolding, and BlockBeats will continue to monitor it.

According to market data, the meme coin JELLY has surged by 515% in the past hour, currently priced at $0.034 with a market cap of $38.11 million; meanwhile, HYPE dropped by 17% at one point in the past hour to $14.37, 10% lower compared to when "taking over the JELLY short position."
Earlier, BlockBeats reported that the Hyperliquid Vault automatically liquidated and took over a $5 million JELLY short position.
According to hypurrscan data, with the sharp rise in JELLY's price, the current position is facing a loss of $12.368 million (entry price $0.01129).

A New Address Opens a JELLY Long Position on Hyperliquid, Reaching a Peak Profit of Over $8 Million
According to hypurrscan data, a new address starting with 0x20e8 opened a 3x JELLY long position on Hyperliquid, with an entry price of $0.01129. The position once reached a peak profit of over $8 million and currently has an unrealized profit of $5.58 million.
03-26 22:30
According to Lookonchain monitoring, a whale holding 126 million JELLY coins (jellyjelly) is manipulating the price of the coin.
This address first sold off JELLY to crash the price, causing HLP to acquire a passive short position of 398 million JELLY (approximately $15.3 million).
Then, the address bought back JELLY, pushing up the price and resulting in HLP losing nearly $12 million.

On-chain data analyst @ai_9684xtpa stated that Hyperliquid's automatic takeover of a $5 million jellyjelly short position is currently experiencing an unrealized loss of $10.63 million (approximately $6 million at the time of writing). If the counterparty pushes the price to around $0.17, the Hyperliquid Vault will face liquidation, resulting in a $240 million loss of its current holdings.

KOL "Suggests" Binance to Launch JELLY to Liquidate Hyperliquid, CZ Responds "Noted"
Crypto KOL CryptoSkanda (@thecryptoskanda) posted on social media, "suggesting" that Binance should list JELLY for spot trading or at least consider it, leveraging his own influence to further pump the price of JELLY to liquidate Hyperliquid, a competitor.
In response, Binance co-founder CZ replied, "Okay, noted."
At the time of writing, JELLY is currently priced at $0.0328, with only a 24% increase since CZ's reply, which did not have a significant impact on the price (compared to a 500% increase earlier tonight).
BlockBeats previously reported that a trader who opened a short position on JELLY was automatically liquidated, causing the Hyperliquid Vault to take over a $5 million JELLY short position, which is currently at a $9.02 million loss.
According to on-chain data analyst @ai_9684xtpa's analysis, if the opposing party pushes the JELLY price up to around $0.17, the Hyperliquid Vault will face liquidation and lose the full $240 million it currently holds.

Analyst: JELLY short positions will be liquidated up to $50 million, liquidation price $0.141
On-chain data analyst Yujin posted that this JELLY event will at most bust the address currently taking over JELLY short positions, without affecting the other two strategic addresses of the HLP treasury.
The liquidation address holds $50 million, and the liquidation price of the current 398 million JELLY short positions is at $0.141. The current JELLY price is $0.033. To "bust" the liquidation address, JELLY would need to rise over 3 times.
03-26 23:21

Hyperliquid settled a JELLY short at $0.0095 without any loss of funds
According to market reports, Hyperliquid delisted JELLY and settled a taken short position at a price of $0.0095 (well below market price), without any loss of funds.
03-26 23:47
Hyperliquid posted a response on Discord, stating that upon discovering suspicious market activity, the validator committee voted to delist the JELLY perpetual contract.
In addition to tagged addresses, all user losses will be fully compensated by the Hyper Foundation. The compensation will be automatically executed based on on-chain data in the coming days without the need to submit a ticket. The specific implementation plan will be detailed in a subsequent announcement. As with other public chains, validators often need to collectively negotiate and take decisive action to maintain network integrity. Hyperliquid will prioritize enhancing the robustness and transparency of the voting system.
Records also show that the 24-hour net loss/gain of HLP (Hyperliquid Protocol) is approximately $700,000 USDC. Technical improvements will be advanced concurrently, with the experience of this event enhancing the network. More details will be announced soon.

Arthur Hayes shared on social media that Hyperliquid was unable to handle the JELLY event, showing that it is not truly decentralized. He further expressed that traders do not really care about such matters and confidently stated that HYPE will soon return to its initial state.
03-26 23:58
According to Lookonchain monitoring, before delisting JELLY, Hyperliquid settled 3.92 billion JELLY at a price of $0.0095 (approximately $3.72 million) without any loss, but instead profited $703,000.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
