Hyperliquid Perps Update: Conventional Mark Price With Binance Reference Reduces Single-Oracle Manipulation Risk

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Hyperliquid will use a conventional mark price formula for its contracts that references Binance futures prices when available and other exchanges when not, reducing single-oracle risk (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, this mechanism is intended to mitigate large mark-price swings and curb manipulation driven by a single oracle (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, traders should expect mark prices to be derived from multi-exchange references rather than a single oracle, improving price robustness for perpetual swaps (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

ETH Funding Rates Show No Overheat vs 2021 ATH — Leverage Looks Contained for Traders

According to @rovercrc, ETH is not overheated because perpetual funding rates have not spiked as they did at the 2021 all-time high. According to @rovercrc, the lack of a funding-rate surge implies less aggressive long leverage versus prior peaks, lowering blow-off liquidation risk and providing room for trend continuation if spot demand improves. According to @rovercrc, traders should monitor any acceleration in funding rates as a signal that leverage risk is rising toward 2021-style conditions.

Crypto Futures Shock: $125K to $42.99M, Then 98% Loss in 3 Days — Leverage Risk and Drawdown Lessons

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a trader compounded $125,000 into $42.987 million in four months, then suffered an 84% drawdown, banked $6.865 million, and ultimately exited with $770,000 after a three-day 98% loss (source: @ai_9684xtpa, Aug 19, 2025). According to @ai_9684xtpa, the blow-up was linked to rolling positions, no stop-loss/take-profit, and high leverage—showing how overexposure in crypto derivatives can erase gains rapidly (source: @ai_9684xtpa, Aug 19, 2025). According to @ai_9684xtpa, this case illustrates that unchecked compounding and leverage without predefined risk limits can lead to near-total equity loss within days in volatile markets (source: @ai_9684xtpa, Aug 19, 2025).
