Hyperliquid Delists JELLY Amid Chaos

Hyperliquid Rocked by JELLY Drama

Whale Sparks JELLY Chaos: A whale opened a JELLY short position on Hyperliquid while manipulating its price, forcing the HLP vault to take on the initial short. Buying back spiked the price, causing the vault to face a ~$13M unrealized loss. Binance/OKX listed JELLY perps, fueling the surge before Hyperliquid’s validators delisted it for “suspicious activity,” leaving HLP with a $703K profit.

Critics Slam Hyperliquid Moves: ZachXBT says it’s “annoying” Hyperliquid acted on JELLY but not DPRK’s Radiant hack funds, questioning decentralization. Ambient Founder Doug Colkitt calls forced closures at arbitrary prices “a much much stronger power over user funds.” Bitget CEO Gracy Chen warns Hyperliquid’s “immature, unethical” handling risks it becoming “FTX 2.0,” citing mixed vaults and no KYC/AML.

Refunds Amid Uncertain Future: Hyperliquid’s token is down ~8% with TVL dropping from ~$400M to ~$280M. Crypto.com has since added JELLY spot and perps listings, adding to the chaos. Hyperliquid promises refunds, stating, “All users except flagged ones will be made whole,” and "the network will grow stronger as a result of lessons learned." Read More.
