Have you heard about the recent SK Hynix drama? A $60 million bloodbath in the crypto world!
Who would’ve thought that just one absurdly low-priced sell-off could become the final straw that crushed nearly a thousand on-chain long positions?
On the morning of July 28, as Korea’s alternative exchange Nextrade opened with liquidity as dry as a desert, a ridiculously low-priced sell order was unexpectedly executed. What’s worse, this absurd price was blindly picked up and propagated by a third-party oracle on the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid. Within seconds, the on-chain SK Hynix perpetual contract xyz:SKHYNIX nosedived 20%, and 960 long accounts were liquidated in the blink of an eye.
960 long accounts wiped out, involving positions worth around $57.4 million, with actual losses totaling approximately $17.3 million. Overnight, countless people fell from dreams of easy profits into the abyss of total ruin. Rumor has it that young people in Korea were lining up to jump off buildings, a scene so tragic it’s suffocating to imagine.
One fat-finger trade, one on-chain massacre. The knives in the crypto world are sharper, faster, and far more ruthless than those in the stock market.
