Trader Nets $1.28M on Papertrade After Moving ETH Price
A trader earned $1.28 million (USD) on new exchange Papertrade by moving Hyperliquid's ETH price, then lost $450,000 (USD) when 30 short positions were liquidated days later.
If a single wallet can move prices on a high-leverage exchange and profit from that movement, how should platforms define fair trading versus manipulation? As leverage multiples climb past 100x and now 1,000x, the line between skilled trading and price manipulation grows harder to draw. Regulators, exchanges, and traders may need a shared answer before the next fast-moving trade forces the question into the open.
