Hyperliquid responds to Whale ETH multi order clearing: no protocol vulnerabilities, HLP loses about $4 million in 24 hours

Odaily Planet Daily News: In response to the market's discussion on the clearing of multiple ETH orders by user 0xf3f4, Hyperliquid officials stated today that this incident was not a protocol vulnerability or hacker attack, but rather a result of the user withdrawing unrealized profits (PNL), which led to a decrease in margin and triggered clearing. Hyperliquid stated that the user ultimately made a profit of $1.8 million, but HLP (Hyperliquid Liquidity Pool) lost approximately $4 million in the past 24 hours. Despite this, HLP's historical cumulative PNL remains at around $60 million. In addition, Hyperliquid announced that it will adjust leverage restrictions to optimize clearing management: BTC's maximum leverage adjusted to 40 times ETH maximum leverage adjusted to 25 times Increase the maintenance margin requirements for large positions and enhance the market buffering capacity during large-scale liquidation.
