AI SUMMARY
●• Whale deposited 32M USDC on Hyperliquid to sweep spot HYPE via TWAP
●• Entity immediately shorted 100k HYPE at market price, dropping price by 4%
●• Strategy squeezed short positions, reducing open interest to roughly 727k HYPE
A significant whale transaction on Hyperliquid has triggered sharp volatility for the HYPE token. The entity reportedly deposited 32 million USDC to aggressively sweep spot HYPE using a Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) strategy, a move seemingly calculated to squeeze existing short positions and manipulate funding rates.
Following the massive spot accumulation, the same whale immediately executed a market short of 100,000 HYPE, causing the price to abruptly drop by 4%. This aggressive trading sequence successfully reduced the squeezed short interest on the platform to approximately 727,000 HYPE.
