Hyperliquid Under Scrutiny for Ex-Employee's HYPE Short Positions

2025-12-25 17:34

Hyperliquid is facing increased scrutiny after on-chain data revealed that a former employee engaged in significant short positions on HYPE. The wallet, identified as 0x7A4e, received $66,000 USDC from Hyperliquid between September and November 2025. On December 17, the wallet deposited $53,000 USDC and initiated a $180,000 HYPE short with 10x leverage, alongside a $43,000 BTC short with 40x leverage. These trades have sparked concerns regarding Hyperliquid's internal controls and adherence to its zero-tolerance policy on insider trading. The activity has raised questions about the firm's ability to manage support and resistance levels effectively, potentially impacting its market integrity.
