A significant event unfolded in the cryptocurrency market today, linked to market manipulation around JELLYJELLY. The unexpected price dynamics drew attention from participants and exchanges.
The Beginning of Events with JELLYJELLY
It all started when a crypto whale opened a $6 million short position on JELLYJELLY on the decentralized crypto exchange Hyperliquid, leading to a short squeeze and a subsequent increase in the altcoin's price.
