The post Trader’s $3M Fartcoin Bet Unravels, Triggering Hyperliquid ADL appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

A trader lost about $3 million after building a large leveraged Fartcoin position on Hyperliquid that unraveled in thin liquidity, triggering the platform’s auto-deleveraging (ADL) mechanism.

After the incident, the team said that losses stemmed from market dynamics rather than a protocol exploit.  Related: Onchain perp DEX volumes fall for five straight months after October peak A similar episode occurred later that month involving the JELLY memecoin. On March 27, 2025, a trader used multiple leveraged positions to exploit the platform’s liquidation system. However, the final outcome remained unclear,…
