ETH Overtakes BTC on Hyperliquid as 24H Volume Hits $1.1B

Ethereum’s 24-hour trading volume on Hyperliquid has surpassed Bitcoin’s, reaching about $1.1 billion. Analysts linked the rise to a suspected mechanism exploit on PaperTrade, which may have driven up ETH trading demand. Crypto trader Rune had earlier flagged that PaperTrade’s own documentation disclosed a pricing-manipulation risk involving Hyperliquid’s best bid and offer order book.

The flip in relative volumes on a single venue is less a statement about Ethereum than about how easily activity can be manufactured. If the surge is tied to a suspected exploit rather than organic flow, it highlights a structural vulnerability: venues whose pricing depends on external order books can inherit the weaknesses of the platforms they reference. The open question is whether Hyperliquid's volume mix normalizes once the suspected mechanism is addressed, and whether similar dependencies elsewhere draw scrutiny.
