A coordinated group of whales manipulated the price of the JELLY token on the Hyperliquid DEX, causing a significant drop in its value.
Hyperliquid's built-in market-making protocol faced a loss of over $12 million due to the whales' market manipulation.
Hyperliquid delisted JELLY and closed the short position, avoiding the huge losses it was facing.
Connections were found between the malicious wallets involved in the JELLY price manipulation and major exchanges such as OKX and Binance, leading to suspicion of a coordinated attack to sabotage Hyperliquid.
