Hyperliquid, one of the most preferred platforms in the crypto market, came to the forefront as a platform that was able to move the price of Hype Token despite market collapse. However, the events in recent weeks have shook the reliability of the platform and led to serious criticism. In particular, the fact that Hyperliquid’s liquidation system manipulates the liquidation system, especially by major investors (whales), rapidly reduces the value of the platform.
Hyperliquid and Jelly Manipulation
Hyperliquid, as a decentralized crypto platform, offered an alternative option to the largest stock market. However, safety concerns increased with large investors using the deficits in the system. This began with an uploading a Bitcoin whale to the system of $ 4 million. The same scenario continued with great manipulation on the Jelly Token. As Kriptokoin.com, an investor has invested $ 7 million through three different accounts and made leveraged transactions.
Two of these accounts took a long position, while the other opened a short position. As a result of the coordinated movement, the price of Jelly rose by 400 %. While the exposure sales positions were liquidated, the damage was loaded on Hyperliquid’s guarantee casing (HLP). Following the incident, Hyperliquid removed the Jelly Token from the list and announced that it would compensate for certain users, citing suspicious activities. However, this decision led to a major community reaction.

Community response and decline in Hype Token
The Jelly incident aroused a great impact in the crypto community. Bitget CEO, Hyperliquid’i FTX scandal by comparing it to professionalism said. Similarly, Bitmex Founding Partner Arthur Hayes made statements questioning the allegations of decentralization of the platform. The Hyperliquid team, Jelly, compensated for long position holders, while the other accounts out of the other accounts, the platform “discrimination and favoritism” criticism of criticism.
All these developments have seriously damaged the price of Hype Token. Token, 20 %on a weekly basis and 8 %in the last 24 hours, lost to 12.92 dollars. 35.02 dollars, which he reached three months ago, is 63 %away from the highest level of all time.
