Hyperliquid (HYPE)

It looks like Loracle's $HYPE dumping session on this wallet is nearly finished (though there’s still a significant amount of HYPE staked across other wallets). Monitoring closely. https://t.co/IFmtBIAEDM

imagine you're an early stage employee at openai or anthropic with a fat equity payout coming at IPO this year you've already scrolled zillow to buy a house for your parents, and bookmarked a sportscar for yourself things are great. but there's one worry: what if markets turn before IPO and your stock actually tanks on day one then you hear about a revolutionary new pre-IPO product on hyperliquid you can hedge by shorting a synthetic version of your equity and locking in a sale price before the actual IPO sounds too good to be true but you do your research and convince yourself it's a great idea. it's a permissionless product, so there's no way you can get caught insider trading the trade is simple: short your company's stock in the pre-IPO perp to lock in a sale price now. when the IPO actually happens, close your short and sell the real stock to settle the trade only catch: you need to put up a lot of margin to open the short safely so you take out a 7 fig bank loan and move it through three crypto exchanges to cover your tracks you open the short, officially "lock in" your sale proceeds, and voila.. you just outsmarted and frontran 99% of your coworkers things are great. now all you need is patience until IPO day, when you can close the trade the price actually starts dropping in the weeks leading up to IPO all the more validation that you made the smart move. you can only feel bad for your coworkers who'll get a worse selling price at IPO than you things are going great and you start sketching out your post-IPO retirement phase 5 days before the IPO, you wake up and can't seem to find your position on hyperliquid weird.. maybe it's a UI bug? you check the hyperliquid discord for support. the channels are buzzing with people complaining about a scam wick on a pre-IPO market you ask, naively, what happened to your short and where the margin went that's when someone drops a news article on you: "at 4am EST today, a wallet started aggressively market buying pre-IPO stock on hyperliquid, pumping its price by 271% in 38 minutes and liquidated every short position on the market. the wallet walked away with $47m in profits from liquidating shorts" what? your short got closed? but where did the margin go? that can't be true. you did your research. you asked opus 4.7 to plan this trade out for a hypothetical scenario. this has to be a fake headline you open twitter. that's all anyone is talking about. everyone mocking the people who shorted the pre-IPO stock confused about what this means for you, you start frantically googling: "wtf is a scam wick?" "what is a liquidation in perps?" "how can i get my money back after getting liquidated on hyperliquid?" then it hits. you've lost the entire loan by getting liquidated. the same loan you were going to repay with your IPO sale proceeds and now the stock price is down and your pre-IPO short is liquidated. selling all your real equity at IPO won't even cover what you owe the bank from a 7 figure payday at IPO to a 7 figure debt situation. it took you years to pay off your student loan. this hole is orders of magnitude deeper you call in sick to work. tell your gf there's a family emergency at home and you need to be back home for a week you can only see one way out of this mess

Question- is S3 bullish if it happens? I assume two reactions- more farm volume which I assume= more buybacks But I also assume this creates sell pressure, I dont see S3 participants being the same diamond hand cohort as the prior drop Wouldnt a large chunk of long term holders sell into S3 farm volume? $HYPE I am just unsure of how bullish it would be mainly in the medium term

If Hyperliquid launches a new points season tomorrow, say lasting 1 year and allocating 5% of the supply (around $ 2B), would that be bullish or bearish for $HYPE ?

HyperLiquid could save the bear market with another points program.
