Market Manipulation Details
Arkham Intelligence revealed details of the manipulation. According to their analysis, an address identified as 0xde95 opened significant positions to exploit system vulnerabilities, resulting in a substantial increase in the $JELLY token price and subsequent losses.
Problems for HyperLiquid
This incident is not isolated for HyperLiquid. In March, the platform experienced $4 million in losses due to Ethereum liquidation. HyperLiquid announced delisting the $JELLY token to prevent further damage.
Debate on Decentralization
The $JELLY incident sparked debates about HyperLiquid's decentralization. Prominent figures in the crypto community expressed concerns about the platform's ability to handle manipulations. Arthur Hayes criticized the platform for lacking true decentralization.
