Hyperliquid, a layer-1 decentralized leveraged trading platform, saw its total value locked (TVL) plummet by over $1 billion in the past week.
This drop follows reports of suspicious activity tied to North Korean hackers.
According to CryptoSlate’s data, this has also resulted in a steep 20% fall in Hyperliquid’s native token value over the last 24 hours.
On Dec. 23, web3 security expert Talor Monahan identified a surge in transactions from North Korea-linked addresses, sparking fears of a targeted attack.
