Exploit Hits Hyperliquid Amid $3.5B Weekly Surge

[nihalsari]

Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid suffered a major exploit this week after a private key leak cost one user $21 million.

The attack follows a record week for Hyperliquid, which recently distributed a large airdrop to 94,000 addresses as part of its liquidity rewards program.

Despite surging growth, the exploit underscores the ongoing vulnerabilities in DeFi, where users bear full custody — and full responsibility — for securing assets.

$21M gone overnight shows why security must evolve faster than innovation. It’s time for exchanges to adopt stronger safety layers.

A $3.5B surge and then a hack? The industry needs to focus more on infrastructure stability, not just market hype.
