Hyperliquid Token Tanks as Another Vault Attack Sparks Controversy

Hyperliquid, the leading decentralized perpetual exchange (DEX) by volume, is under scrutiny again as its token plunges after yet another vault attack , leaving the community split. The saga began as a Hyperliquid trader took a large short position on the JELLYJELLY token before withdrawing their collateral, essentially ‘self-liquidating’ and passing the risky position onto the Hyperliquidity Provider Vault (HLP). HLP acts as the counterparty for all trades on the platform.
