Hyperliquid Delists Surging Solana Meme Coin to Avoid Liquidation Crisis

Resumen

Solana-based meme coin JELLYJELLY was delisted from Hyperliquid after a 20x leveraged bet tested the decentralized exchange's integrity.

Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid delisted perpetual futures for the Solana-based meme coin JELLYJELLY on Wednesday, describing the move as critical to ensuring its network’s integrity amid a looming liquidation crisis.

Hyperliquid uses its own high-speed blockchain, built upon the Ethereum layer-2 network Arbitrum, and the project said its networks’ validators had convened to take “decisive action,” in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

The decision came after a Hyperliquid user opened a $6 million 20x leveraged short on JELLYJELLY that became toxic as the meme coin’s price rose. On X, spectators speculated that the user may have intentionally tried to liquidate themselves, forcing the decentralized exchange to take over the bad bet as it spiraled out of control.

After evidence of suspicious market activity, the validator set convened and voted to delist JELLY perps.

All users apart from flagged addresses will be made whole from the Hyper Foundation. This will be done automatically in the coming days based on onchain data. There is no…

On Thursday, JELLYJELLY’s price surged as high as $0.043, according to the crypto data provider CoinGecko. Around 2:30pm Eastern Time, it was changing hands around $0.023, showing a 73% jump in value over the past day.

Though Hyperliquid said the decision to delist JELLYJELLY was a collective choice, the move sparked criticism as some traders and industry observers argued that it conflicted with decentralized finance, or DeFi, norms.

“Let’s stop pretending Hyperliquid is decentralized,” Arthur Hayes, co-founder and former CEO of the crypto exchange BitMEX, said on X.

Users that had JELLYJELLY positions on the platform would be “made whole from the Hyperliquid Foundation” at a later date, Hyperliquid said in the post. The Hyperliquid Foundation is a distinct entity that’s responsible for governing the project’s overall direction.

As the decentralized exchange began unwinding the toxic JELLYJELLY bet, a community-owned vault dubbed the Hyperliquidity Provider (HLP) temporarily took a hit.

Reviewing 8 'Cash Cow' Projects in the Bear Market: The Leader Repurchased $283 Million Worth This Year

This article highlights eight cryptocurrency projects that have demonstrated strong cash-generating capabilities and implemented significant token buyback programs during the bear market of 2026. These projects, dubbed "cash cows," are repurchasing their own tokens, often reducing supply. According to data from Tokenomist, the projects with notable buyback activity from January 1st to June 30th are: Meteora (MET), Pump.fun (PUMP), GMX, Rollbit (RLB), Metaplex (MPLX), Hyperliquid (HYPE), Lighter (LIT), and Aave. Notably, MET's buybacks equaled 71% of its January token supply, while HYPE executed the largest buyback by value at $283 million. Key project summaries include: - **Hyperliquid (HYPE):** The leader by dollar value, its perpetual DEX protocol has repurchased and burned 44 million HYPE tokens (approx. 4.4% of supply) using a significant portion of trading fees, with total buybacks exceeding $1.1 billion since March 2025. - **Meteora (MET):** Its buyback of 336.2 million MET tokens had the greatest proportional impact on its circulating supply, equivalent to 71% of its supply at the start of the year. - **Pump.fun (PUMP):** The popular memecoin launchpad has cumulatively bought back over $400 million worth of PUMP since July 2025, using 50% of net revenue for buybacks and burns since April. - **Aave (AAVE):** Despite facing a major security incident earlier in the year, the lending protocol has continued its buyback program, repurchasing over 200,000 AAVE tokens. Its team is designing a new automated buyback mechanism. - **GMX, Lighter (LIT), Rollbit (RLB), and Metaplex (MPLX)** also have active buyback mechanisms funded by protocol fees or revenues. The article concludes that while token buybacks and burns do not guarantee price appreciation—as market conditions, news, and other factors play a role—these projects stand out for their ability to generate consistent cash flow in a challenging market environment.
