Hyperliquid Whale Doubles Down on HYPE Long Position, Cumulative Profit Surpasses $2.29 Million

On June 2, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government’s Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau announced that after rolling out rules requiring virtual asset trading platforms to hold licenses and regulations governing stablecoin issuers, Hong Kong will launch a unified regulatory framework for a full range of virtual asset activities—including trading, custody, investment advisory, and asset management—next. The initiative aims to strengthen the city’s digital asset ecosystem. Under the proposal, any firm in Hong Kong offering virtual asset trading, custody, investment advice, or asset management will need to secure a license or registration from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). The regulatory scope will align with existing designated regulated activities under the Securities and Futures Ordinance: specifically, Type 1 (securities trading), Type 4 (investment advice), and Type 9 (asset management). For virtual asset custody services, regulato

June 2 update: Over the weekend leading into today, multiple top investment banks released new research on AI infrastructure, categorizing AI computing power expansion’s “second-order bottlenecks” in priority order: Storage/Memory > SSD Controllers > Data Center Power & Liquid Cooling > GPUs/Cloud Platforms > MLCCs > AI Security. AI data centers are no longer reliant on GPUs alone—they now require robust backend storage, power supplies, and cooling systems, per the reports. This wide supply-demand gap has prompted institutions to sharply raise price targets and ratings for related assets, a trend aligned with last week’s trillion-dollar market cap milestones for memory giants Micron (MU) and SK Hynix, plus strong after-hours gains for tech stocks broadly. Key highlights from institutional research notes: - SNDK (SanDisk): Susquehanna and GF Securities assigned Positive/Buy ratings, setting target prices of $3,250 and $1,277 respectively. Catalysts include a severe NAND and enterprise

June 2nd: According to monitoring by OnchainLens, trader and institutional account Loracle (@loraclexyz) has fully closed out his widely publicized previous short position in HYPE, with total accumulated losses topping $46 million. Recently, HYPE has kept hitting new all-time highs and rising against the broader trend, triggering substantial liquidations or forced unwinds for numerous high-leverage short positions. Loracle’s full exit from the HYPE short market makes this trade one of the most prominent examples of massive losses during this round of HYPE’s bull run. Right now, Loracle has shifted his trading focus to other assets: he holds long positions in ZEC (10x leverage), TON (5x leverage), ASTER (5x leverage), and XMR (5x leverage), while maintaining a 5x leverage short position in TSLA (Tesla).

As of June 2, the April cross-chain bridge attack on Kelp DAO resulted in the theft of roughly $292 million in assets. Of that total, about $71 million in ETH has been frozen, while the remaining $220 million has been mostly laundered. The attacker’s original wallet now holds just around $1.7 million in assets. On-chain analysis indicates the hacker deployed privacy tools including THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, and Umbra to carry out multiple rounds of cross-chain swaps and coin mixing, leaving the majority of the stolen funds untraceable. Investigators previously identified the attack as the work of North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group (also known as TraderTraitor/UNC4899). The day after the breach, the attacker split roughly 75,700 ETH — worth approximately $175 million at the time — into several new addresses, bridged the funds to the Bitcoin network via THORChain, then mixed them using Wasabi CoinJoin and Tornado Cash. This activity briefly pushed THORChain’s daily transacti
