Whale Warfare: The $JELLY Manipulation That Broke Hyperliquid
A massive whale holding 124.6M JELLY ($4.85M) orchestrated a brutal price manipulation, forcing Hyperliquidity Provider (HLP) into a $12M loss.
How It Happened:
1️⃣ The whale dumped #JELLY , crashing its price and leaving HLP stuck with a passive short position of 398M JELLY ($15.3M).
2️⃣ He then bought back JELLY, sending the price surging—directly inflicting a $12M loss on HLP.

Hyperliquid’s Response:
Despite the chaos, Hyperliquid liquidated 392M JELLY ($3.72M) at $0.0095, pocketing $703K in profit without suffering losses themselves.
In a decisive move, Hyperliquid delisted JELLY (#jellyjelly ), shutting down further manipulation.
A classic example of high-stakes crypto warfare—whales play, and platforms pay.
