If USD 5k worth of tokens was all it took for a KoL to sell their souls, you need to re-think whether they are real content creators or audience farmers.

Here are the @TroveMarkets badge holders (some have since been removed).
These “gentlemen” (apparently for money and with minimal due diligence) were promoting this project for Hyperliquid community.
No crying in the casino.
Replying to @HyperliquidX
@HyperliquidX's IOC speed-bump mechanism has a flaw. Normally designed to protect makers in the interests of a more liquid market, it breaks down in periods of high activity. When blocks become full, pending modifies and cancels queue up for later blocks, so their latency increases. However, IOCs behave as though they have a separate blockspace dedicated for them, and their latency barely budges. You can see this in the lower left chart, showing latency of different order types during 19 activity bursts.
The result is that under relatively modest load (25-30k tps), IOC + 8 bps (priority fee) orders can pick off resting liquidity before it has a chance to get out the way. Meanwhile, under higher load (35-40k tps), even IOCs without any priority fee can pick off resting liquidity.
This, in my opinion, is antithetical to the ethos and design of the ALO and cancel prioritization mechanism and needs investigation by the team. It exists to reduce toxicity from HFT takers, and is breaking down precisely when most needed.
It may also be exploitable. If IOCs really are insulated from the congestion affecting cancels and modifies, a malicious user could spam orders, delaying makers’ cancels while their own IOCs go through, and taking the liquidity left stale.
One single example that occurred on AVAX today caused 1.3M$ of volume to be adversely selected for a total loss of ~13k$ over the subsequent 10 seconds. This affected us materially. Faced with such episodes of adverse selection, spreads and liquidity are undoubtedly worse than they could be otherwise.
Would appreciate if anyone with a contact at HL could share this with the team.

Yup majority of crypto are retards not realising rfq is literally an execution tool to request for a quote.
It's like requesting for a proposal (rfp) but anyone can be the counterparty. It can be multiple desks or just 1 dominate desk.
ok fine, you want to know how i know none of you understood this?
you keep saying "we all know this, you fucking moron. it's an RFQ model."
oh, it's an RFQ model?
RFQ stands for "request for quote"
it does NOT imply that there is only one counterparty quoting. in fact, by default in most tradfi cases, there are many
all it means is a customer asks for a quote, the middleware forwards that request to market makers, the market makers reply with a quote, and the customer picks the best one(s).
the "middleware" here can be software or human brokers. in fact we used human rfq brokers all day long every day in options market making (where i learned to trade), since they had the largest orders.
and guess what - it was malpractice (they have best execution duty) NOT to get quotes from multiple MMs in that scenario
rfq absolutely has a use-case in markets, is appropriate and good, and variational seems to have built a highly profitable business around it
but if you just parrot the "rfq model" line without understanding what that means, go back and read the docs. and then i would suggest reading about the risks related to a single party being counterparty to all trades on an entire platform.
and then after that, if you still think it's a good idea to trade there, by all means

Binance is an investor in Circle fyi
BTW this is the first time when Circle quickly froze stolen funds after a major exploit
They did nothing after Bybit lost $1.5B, nothing for Drift but for Binance they had frozen $800M in 30 minutes
Shows you how much they care about the space, if it wasn't Binance - they'd wait for a week and then freeze $31.21 USDC

Everyday is Zeroday
BREAKING: Binance has been hacked with wallets across the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and TRON networks seeing outflows of -$5.7 billion.
The hack includes $1.45 billion worth of Bitcoin and $875 million worth of ETH.
If confirmed, this would mark the biggest hack in crypto history.
We expect more information shortly.

TreeAI flagged a possible theft from Binance Hot Wallets, withdrawing billions in over 60 tokens to an address funded by Tornado Cash, 16 minutes ago.
Details are still unclear.

Fun fact - such forks always turn out to get exploits down the line.

TxFlow is Hyperliquid from Temu
They forked Hyperliquid's Arbitrum bridge and changed the name. They copied HyperUnit too and forgot to change the name: txrelay[.]com literally says "Unit is the asset tokenization layer on TxRelay". The frontend, the API and the fees are Hyperliquid's. Even the slogan. The L1 is closed source, with Hyperliquid's naming on everything: TxCore, Tx-BFT, TIPs
Hyperliquid is closed source too, but it has 27 validators that each post prices, and anyone can run a node to check them. TxFlow has 5 validators, all its own, nothing you can run, and one key that acts as the entire oracle. The same key sits on the bridge multisig
So it's a centralized exchange secured by a 3/4 multisig. Their own audit says those keys "can propose arbitrary withdrawals"
And the growth plan is KOLs shilling ref codes

Was wondering about the Hyperliquid announcement today. Hmm...
CME Chairman: Hyperliquid Will Struggle to Enter the U.S. Market Without Addressing KYC Requirements
On October 20, 2026, CME Group CEO Terry Duffy @CMEGroup said on Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast @podcasts that Hyperliquid cannot shift all regulatory responsibility to users or deployers by claiming it merely provides the underlying infrastructure. He argued that the lack of know-your-customer checks, combined with high leverage and automatic liquidation mechanisms, could trigger cascading liquidations and disrupt markets.
Platforms have a duty to oversee trading and ensure fair and orderly market participation. He stressed that Hyperliquid must comply with U.S. law if it wants to enter the U.S. market, adding that, in his view, the operating model proposed by its founder Jeff Yan raises multiple compliance issues.

It is really important to understand that @Lighter_xyz has been working with cftc directly to shape DeFi perps rules for the last couple of months.
The goodwill generated with regulators being a collaborative US entity partner is far more useful than being "loud" in public.
we've spent months with the cftc going through every core principle needed for our filing. our plan is to file next month, then the cftc will have up to 180 days to review.
