now perp on hyperliquid's xyz market drops 27% in 24h, $6.6M open interest

the now perp on xyz, a HIP-3 market (markets anyone can deploy), moved -26.8% in 24h. it saw $14.3M traded against $6.6M open interest, meaning positions turned over more than twice. big single-day moves on stock perps show how fast leverage gets tested on HIP-3 venues.

-26.8%24h
$6.6Mopen interest
HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. open app.hyperliquid.xyz, go to the xyz markets and find the now perp
  2. check the 24h change, open interest and volume on the market page
  3. compare with hyperdash to see how open interest changed over the day
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
stock perps on HIP-3 can move hard in one day, so size and leverage matter. thin open interest means liquidations can push the price further.

the purrdat perp on xyz, a HIP-3 market (a perp market anyone can deploy), rose 21.1% in 24h. open interest, the total value of open positions, sits at $19.5M, with $41.3M traded. a move like that on a small deployer-run market shows how fast HIP-3 liquidity can swing.

HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. open app.hyperliquid.xyz and find the xyz markets in the perps list
  2. look up purrdat and check the 24h change, open interest and volume
  3. compare the numbers with the hyperdash page for the same market
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
hip-3 markets can move hard on modest open interest, so size and leverage matter. check who deployed a market and how deep the book is before trading it.

HYPE jumps 17% to $91.42 as NYSE owner ICE backs hyperliquid perps in the US

hyperliquid's token $HYPE rose 17% in 24h to $91.42, about 7% under its all-time high. the news: ICE, the company that owns the NYSE, is teaming up with trade[xyz], a HIP-3 market (perp markets anyone can deploy), to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on hyperliquid to the US. the HYPE perp traded $2.8B with $2.0B open interest, and funding sits at +0.51% a day, so longs are paying a lot to stay in.

+17.0%HYPE 24h
$91.42price
-6.7%from ATH
HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. open app.hyperliquid.xyz and look at the HYPE perp: 24h change, open interest and funding rate.
  2. on coingecko, check the HYPE price and its distance from the all-time high.
  3. search ICE and trade[xyz] on X to read the partnership announcement from the sources themselves.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
a regulated-market link is a real narrative for hyperliquid, but funding at +0.51% a day means leveraged longs are crowded and pay for it. watch funding and open interest before assuming the move has legs. not financial advice.

User funds are safe! It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m). I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.
