TREE NEWS reports: A trader netted $1.28 million on new 1,000x exchange Papertrade by moving Hyperliquid’s ETH prices, then lost $450,000 when 30 short positions were liquidated on Saturday night. The positions had stayed open for more than three hours before the liquidation.
Trader nets $1.28M on Papertrade by moving Hyperliquid ETH prices
The episode puts a spotlight on how thinly capitalized, high-leverage venues can let one participant's activity feed back into the reference prices others trade against — a structural concern rather than a one-off trading loss. It matters most for anyone relying on Hyperliquid's ETH prints as a benchmark, and for Papertrade's claim to credible execution at extreme leverage. Whether the liquidation timing reflects genuine market mechanics or a design flaw is the open question worth watching.
