According to @LexSokolin, financial health is peace rather than participation in perps or prediction markets, and the gamification of investing has turned portfolios into entertainment and slot machines, eroding financial security for a generation and warning traders in high-leverage derivatives to reassess risk exposure and capital preservation focus (source: Lex Sokolin on X, Nov 16, 2025).

According to @LexSokolin, covering essential expenses and maintaining financial health is more valuable to traders than using 100x leverage, signaling a preference for stability over extreme risk in perps and prediction markets.

For trading, this underscores prioritizing cash runway, conservative leverage, and disciplined risk controls rather than chasing high-beta exposure via perps to improve durability through market cycles.

According to @KookCapitalLLC, Hyperliquid’s HLP liquidation process is more transparent than other venues, citing Jeff’s statement that HLP is a 'non-toxic liquidator' that does not select only profitable liquidations and serves as 'a public good for maintaining system solvency' (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Oct 11, 2025; source: @chameleon_jeff on X). The post frames Hyperliquid’s approach as non-selective and solvency-first, a detail relevant for perps traders and HLP depositors assessing venue risk and liquidation mechanics (source: @chameleon_jeff on X; source: @KookCapitalLLC on X). The author also expresses a personal view that HLP depositors may receive an airdrop in an upcoming season, which is opinion and not confirmed information (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X).

According to @52kskew, BTC spot order books show increased bid depth, but not yet substantial, making passive spot flows the key near-term driver. Source: @52kskew on X, Oct 7, 2025. On perps, a clustered bid area was filled and open interest and positioning have been reset, indicating leverage has been cleared and the next move hinges on fresh positioning. Source: @52kskew on X, Oct 7, 2025. Traders should monitor passive spot flow, the pace of OI rebuild, and funding or spot-perp basis for directional confirmation as leverage-driven momentum is currently neutralized.

According to @KookCapitalLLC, headlines about US citizens gaining access to Hyperliquid, Binance and other offshore exchanges should be viewed as bullish hype rather than a fundamental catalyst for perpetual futures markets (source: @KookCapitalLLC post on X, Aug 28, 2025). According to @KookCapitalLLC, past launches of perp products by Coinbase and Binance similarly created hype without improving user alignment, with these offerings allegedly trading against users (source: @KookCapitalLLC). According to @KookCapitalLLC, traders should treat such access and product-launch news as sentiment-driven and prioritize assessment of venue mechanics and alignment risks when positioning in perps (source: @KookCapitalLLC).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the Hyperliquid team said in Discord that no platform vulnerability was involved in the recent sniping event (source: Hyperliquid Discord; relayed by @ai_9684xtpa on Aug 27, 2025). The team stated users assume their own risk and no compensation is planned (source: Hyperliquid Discord; relayed by @ai_9684xtpa). In the next network upgrade, the hyperp mark price will be capped within 10x of the 8 hour mark price EMA (source: Hyperliquid Discord; relayed by @ai_9684xtpa). For trading, review exposure to mark price deviations on Hyperliquid perps and monitor the upgrade timeline to adjust risk controls as the new cap takes effect (implication based on the Hyperliquid Discord update; source: Hyperliquid Discord; relayed by @ai_9684xtpa).

According to @KookCapitalLLC, Hyperliquid’s daily perpetual futures trading volume rose from about $2 million pre-launch to about $6 million after Coinbase and Robinhood introduced their perps, a roughly 3x increase (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Aug 25, 2025). According to @KookCapitalLLC, this indicates the Coinbase and Robinhood perpetuals acted as customer education and acquisition funnels for Hyperliquid rather than reducing its flows (source: @KookCapitalLLC). According to @KookCapitalLLC, the volume change is the key datapoint for traders tracking DEX perp market share and liquidity shifts (source: @KookCapitalLLC).
