On February 9th, Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy—head of the crypto market maker—weighed in on the abnormal Bitcoin and ETH spot price swings on 1-minute charts during the early hours of February 8th. He noted the anomaly was likely driven by a liquidation event involving a market maker’s trading bot, which could have resulted in tens of millions of dollars in losses. The price dip wasn’t due to malicious activity from the bot’s operator, and Wintermute itself was not involved, Gaevoy clarified. Gaevoy also pushed back on rumors of “major institutional liquidations” circulating in the market, saying even if such events occurred, they wouldn’t have a meaningful long-term impact. Unlike past collapses (e.g., Three Arrows Capital, FTX)—where liquidation news spread rapidly and clear red flags emerged (like institutions seeking bailouts)—current rumors stem mostly from anonymous accounts and lack confirmation from credible sources. This cycle’s leverage is primarily tied to perpe

**February 9** Kyle Samani—former Multicoin co-founder and board chair of Forward Industries (FORD)—criticized Hyperliquid in a post, sparking heated community debate. His take: *“Hyperliquid epitomizes crypto’s worst traits in many ways. The founder fled his home country to build it; it openly enables crime and terrorism; it has closed-source code and is permissioned.”* Yunt Capital analyst Steven pushed back: *“Yes, Hyperliquid embodies most of crypto’s downsides—including VC rejection, democratizing liquidity via HLP, growing its community with the largest token airdrop in history ($9B), and using all $960M in HL revenue to buy back tokens instead of pocketing any. Updated data on Hyperliquid’s Aid Fund buyback shows the fund holds 40M HYPE tokens, funded by long-term protocol revenue.”* Hyperliquid community member Luke Cannon mocked Samani’s role as chair of Solana’s largest treasury firm Forward Industries (FWDI): *“FWDI has all the problems of a DAT company—its stock

On February 9, SlowMist released a security advisory. Recently, the open-source AI agent project OpenClaw has unexpectedly gained traction, and its official plugin hub—ClawHub—is increasingly becoming a target for supply chain poisoning attacks, posing potential security risks to developers and users. Monitoring has identified 341 malicious "skills," which often masquerade as cryptocurrency assets, security scanners, or automation tools. Attackers are exploiting the SKILL.md file as an entry point for command execution: they hide malicious commands via Base64 encoding and use a two-stage loading mechanism to evade detection. The first stage fetches the payload via curl; the second deploys a sample named "dyrtvwjfveyxjf23" that tricks users into entering their system password, then steals local documents and system information. Users are advised to: review any commands they need to copy and run, be wary of prompts seeking system permissions, and prioritize obtaining tools through
