$Fartcoin up by 16% https://t.co/u0bW0sok4f
Memecoins are PVP and always will be.
And fartcoin dumping (literally) is a perfect example of that.
Whales tried to pump this because it’s easier to move than a deep, liquid market.
So they loaded up a huge ~$15M notional long on @HyperliquidX.
The bet is simple: push price hard enough, pull in momentum traders, let them carry it higher.
Once that artificial push stopped, there wasn’t enough real demand underneath.
Then the usual chain reaction started:
→ People sold the candle
→ Longs got liquidated
→ That forced even more selling
And that’s how we ended up with this clown fiesta.
Someone spent $15M trying to manipulate Fartcoin, and it ended with a $3M loss.
It all started with four coordinated wallets that quietly built a $15M long position on Fartcoin across @HyperliquidX.
But the token dropped instead of pumping, and all four wallets got liquidated for $3M.
Here's the scheme they tried to run:
→ Build a large coordinated long position across multiple wallets
→ Wait for the price to pump
→ Take profits before the position gets force-closed
When the liquidation hit, Hyperliquid's Auto-Deleveraging mechanism automatically closed two short positions on the opposite side.
The 2 lucky wallets made ~$850K combined with zero effort.
A similar approach was used to drain $1.5M from the HLP vault just days earlier.
This attack vector will persist as long as low-liquidity tokens trade on the platform.
