Recently, many friends have been talking about Hyperliquid (HYPE). So, who is quietly buying and seeing profits soar behind this coin? Following the on-chain data, we tracked down a heavyweight player — Paradigm.
Paradigm is suspected to be the largest holder of HYPE!
On-chain data shows that Paradigm may hold 19.13 million HYPE, accounting for about 6% of the total circulation, with an average acquisition price of about $16.5. Looking at the current price, this guy has already seen profits exceeding $450 million, making him a master of lying down to win. The acquisition path is very "professional"! Their operations clearly do not resemble retail investors; they are all at an institutional level:
Phase One: Find market makers to buy in bulk
Paradigm is suspected to have sought out an old friend, Wintermute, to make a significant purchase, assisting in the early accumulation.
Phase Two: Use over-the-counter channels
Continue to buy through over-the-counter trading platforms like FalconX to avoid market volatility and remain more discreet.
On-chain operations are also quite "refined". Starting in December 2023, Wintermute transferred several million HYPE to a brand new wallet, then subdivided it into 10 smaller wallets, each holding tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of coins, clearly a seasoned method of "wallet laundering". Then, at the beginning of 2024, they withdrew tens of millions of HYPE from the Gate wallet and redistributed it to new addresses with no historical transactions, the entire path closely resembles Paradigm's consistent style.
Multiple sources of information cross-verified
Not only on-chain data, but some institutions supporting Hyperliquid have also indirectly mentioned Paradigm's involvement. Coupled with the completely consistent operating model, it can be inferred that Paradigm is very likely the largest financial backer of HYPE!

How outsiders view the chaotic meme phenomenon in the cryptocurrency circle.
First Financial published a warning about the risks of LABUBU virtual currency speculation. This coin quietly went online on exchanges, leveraging the popularity of trendy toys, with its price soaring initially before plummeting.
LABUBU is not officially issued by Pop Mart; it was launched by community developers.
Industry insiders point out that this is typical speculative behavior in the cryptocurrency space, with enormous price fluctuations exposing extremely high risks. Most projects are worthless and essentially amount to fraud and pyramid schemes.
Investors should remain highly vigilant, steer clear of such illegal speculation, and avoid financial losses
OpenSea has announced that it will completely shut down version OS1 on June 16, and the new version OS2 will remove Deals, English auctions, testnet support, and shopping cart functionality.
The platform claims that these features have low usage rates and that there are compatibility issues between Deals and the ERC-721C royalty enforcement contract.
However, users strongly protest, believing that the removal of the Deals feature (launched in July 2023, supporting custom NFT exchanges) will increase the risk of scams, leading to widespread controversy in the community.
This change may reshape the NFT trading ecosystem, what do you think?
You will soon be able to use Hong Kong dollar stablecoins to buy Bitcoin.
The Hong Kong Stablecoin Regulation will take effect on August 1, requiring issuers of Hong Kong dollar stablecoins to be licensed, enhancing compliance and risk control.
The new regulations focus on institutional framework construction, making it difficult for ordinary retail investors to access Hong Kong dollar stablecoins in the short term, and practical application scenarios such as transfers and investments have yet to materialize.
US dollar stablecoins (such as USDT), due to their global liquidity, remain the preferred choice for cross-border payments.
BiyaPay supports quick exchanges of USDT for over 30 fiat currencies, with stable withdrawals, zero frozen cards, and one-click international remittances that are secure and efficient.
Users do not need to wait for Hong Kong dollar stablecoins; they can prioritize using USDT through BiyaPay for convenient cross-border circulation. This move by Hong Kong promotes fintech leadership, but widespread adoption will take time. $BTC
Sui increases investment by tens of millions of dollars in chain protection efforts; Cetus initiates LP compensation and security upgrades after an attack
In response to the Cetus smart contract vulnerability incident, Sui officials announced an additional investment of 10 million dollars for on-chain security enhancement, covering bug bounties, formal verification, and multi-party audits, demonstrating their commitment to protecting the developer ecosystem. Cetus faced a sophisticated attack exploiting the CLMM vulnerability on May 22, resulting in asset theft. The team has since collaborated with Sui to urgently freeze the attacker's address and is advancing the LP compensation plan. Both parties will strengthen on-chain monitoring and regularly release security reports to prevent similar incidents from occurring again. Sui and Cetus are jointly learning lessons to reconstruct a more secure ecological foundation. $SUI $CETUS
