According to market news, an address suspected to be related to Sun Yuchen made millions of $XPL on Hyperliquid, clearing the entire order book and causing all accounts to be liquidated. It then began to close positions, profiting $16 million in one minute. The price of $XPL surged to $1.80, rising over 200% in two minutes.
According to analysis by @ai_9684xtpa, the address 0xb9c…6801e started making millions of XPL on Hyperliquid at 05:35, directly clearing the entire order book and squeezing all short positions (mostly 1x hedge positions), profiting $16 million in just one minute. The funding sources for this address mainly come from two parts: 4.99 million USDC transferred from address 0x5dE…c03c3 three hours ago and 10.98 million USDT transferred across chains from address 0xae0…97150 before today via DeBridge.
The rumor about the connection to Sun Yuchen arises from tracing the funding sources, as this address had transferred ETH to a Justin Sun-associated address five years ago, but there is no direct evidence proving this is Sun Yuchen's address. This address began accumulating long positions on August 24, but in small amounts and with low positions, so it did not cause any volatility. Currently, this address still holds a 1x XPL long position worth $8.58 million, with an unrealized profit of $620,000.
