This address attracted attention after accumulating approximately <strong>170,600 <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-investing\/exchange\/hyperliquid\/\">HYPE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/crypto\/bitget-token-bgb\/\">tokens<\/a><\/strong>, then proceeding with <strong>strategic liquidations<\/strong> shortly after the token&#8217;s official launch. Market observers quickly pointed to suspicious selling patterns. Notably the use of TWAP orders to gradually offload positions without crashing the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure intensified when on-chain analysis revealed that approximately <strong>3,700 HYPE had been sold<\/strong>. Representing a value of around <strong>$110,000<\/strong> at the time of the transactions. For a freshly launched token, this type of movement from an address potentially linked to the team represents a major red flag for investors. <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/blockchain\/pow-vs-pos\/\">Blockchain<\/a> transparency once again played its watchdog role. Allowing the community to track in real-time every transfer and every trade executed from this controversial wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+z-a5LKRM7HxkNWZk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Follow our pro trader!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"an-official-response-to-contain-the-controversy\">An Official Response to Contain the Controversy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Faced with mounting speculation, <strong>Hyperliquid<\/strong> chose to <strong>respond quickly<\/strong> via an official Discord announcement. The team unambiguously confirmed that the address indeed belongs to <strong>a former employee, terminated during the first quarter of 2024.<\/strong> The statement clearly specifies that <strong><em>&#8220;this individual is no longer associated with Hyperliquid Labs and their actions do not reflect the standards or values of our team&#8221;.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: HYPERLIQUID TEAM CLARIFIES THAT AN ADDRESS SHORTING <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24HYPE&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$HYPE<\/a>, SPOTTED BY THE COMMUNITY, BELONGS TO AN EX-EMPLOYEE TERMINATED IN Q1 2024 &#8211; &quot;THIS INDIVIDUAL IS NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH HYPERLIQUID LABS, AND THEIR ACTIONS DO NOT REFLECT OUR TEAM\u2019S STANDARDS OR VALUES&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Za3vQDhuMq\">pic.twitter.com\/Za3vQDhuMq<\/a><\/p>&mdash; DEGEN NEWS (@DegenerateNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DegenerateNews\/status\/2002958890892455957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 22, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This forced transparency nevertheless raises legitimate questions about the security protocols implemented when employees with access to token allocations depart. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/\">crypto<\/a> sector, where trust relies heavily on the reputation and transparency of founding teams. This type of incident can quickly erode investor confidence. The timing of the sales, occurring <strong>just after the token launch,<\/strong> suggests an in-depth knowledge of internal mechanisms and the distribution schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyperliquid took advantage of this communication to reiterate its internal code of conduct. The team claims to enforce a <strong>zero-tolerance policy<\/strong> regarding HYPE derivatives trading by its members, as well as a strict prohibition on trading based on inside information. Violations of these rules result in immediate termination and can trigger legal action. <strong><em>&#8220;Integrity is non-negotiable at Hyperliquid Labs,&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> the official statement emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"implications-for-trust-in-dexs-and-tokenomics\">Implications for Trust in DEXs and Tokenomics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident highlights a recurring issue in the crypto ecosystem: the management of token allocations intended for teams and early contributors. Unlike traditional companies where stock options are locked through robust legal mechanisms, crypto tokens <strong>rely on smart contracts and vesting schedules<\/strong> that can present <strong>exploitable vulnerabilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, HYPE is trading at <strong>$25<\/strong> and is up 1% on the day. It remains to be seen whether other similar allocations are still circulating and could create additional downward pressure on the token price in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/decoding-bitcoin-crash-is-an-explosive-rebound-on-horizon\/\">Decoding the Bitcoin crash: Is an explosive rebound on the horizon?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/ondo-and-layerzero-set-revolutionize-tokenized-securities\/\">Ondo and LayerZero set to revolutionize tokenized securities?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-surge-prediction-markets-unveil-future-trends\/\">Bitcoin surge: Prediction markets unveil future trends<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hyperliquid platform has revealed the identity behind the controversial short positions on its native token HYPE.
