PANews reported on March 27, 2025, that Lookonchain monitoring showed funds for the Hyperliquid attack were withdrawn via Binance and OKX exchanges.

The incident underscores growing concerns about Hyperliquid’s vulnerabilities and its complex security environment.

Market Impact and Potential Regulatory Response

According to CoinMarketCap, Hyperliquid’s price stood at $14.80, with a market cap of $4.94 billion as of March 26, 2025. Trading volume surged to $402.54 million, indicating a 357.46% spike. Over 90 days, prices have fallen 40.41%, marking significant volatility.

Coincu’s analysis suggests that market reactions could prompt stronger regulatory oversight. Arthur Hayes, Co-Founder of BitMEX, noted, “Hyperliquid is no longer decentralized, predicting HYPE will return to its starting point.” This may drive initiatives to bolster network security or diversify validator dependencies—steps necessary for sustainable growth. The industry awaits further developments and potentially more robust security frameworks.
