Bitcoin tops the list as the most-traded cryptocurrency on Hyperliquid

The news comes after the DEX denied claims of insider trading on December 22 and urged that open short positions on HYPE originated from a former employee. The DEX also claimed that team members and current employees are banned from trading the DEX’s native token. 

Cryptopolitan reported that the alleged insider position was valued at $25,140 and involved the short sale of 1,000 HYPE shares. The report emphasized that the position was too small to have a significant impact on the market by introducing additional volatility. The report also highlighted that the insider owns 2.5 million HYPE in the spot market and has consistently held despite HYPE’s poor performance and the overall crypto meltdown.
