pump.fun disclosed that builder fees, based on Hyperliquid's perpetual contract feature rates, are capped at 0.1%.

Tread.fi CEO DYJ released an analysis of the flash crash in US-listed AI concept stock perpetual contracts in the early hours of today, pointing out that the sell-off originated from Binance. A trader liquidated roughly $2 million in long positions of SanDisk (SNDK), triggering sharp declines across other markets due to the order book’s shallow depth. Per the transaction timeline he outlined, Binance saw large aggressive sell orders for SNDK first: around $407,000 in the first second, then approximately $1.03 million the next; MU also started selling in that same second. DYJ added that Hyperliquid subsequently saw sweep orders, with about 10 addresses submitting immediate-or-cancel (IOC) sell orders concentrated on SNDK, SOXL, DRAM, SKHX, SKHY, and MU within 1.8 seconds, followed by a second round of synchronized sell orders. All these orders were for opening new short positions, not just reducing existing ones. In the minute of the first concentrated sell, Binance’s trading volumes for SNDK and MU stood at roughly $21.9 million and $5.1 million respectively, while Trade.xyz’s corresponding volumes were about $3.1 million and $300,000. Hyperliquid’s MU trading volume then surged to $10.8 million and $9.5 million in the next two minutes, a phase DYJ attributed to liquidation cascades.

South Korean Finance Minister Lee Hyung-il said Saturday that the semiconductor industry boom will last at least until 2027. In an interview with CNBC on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Lee stated: "Currently, we judge this round of growth can hold steady at least until next year, as the semiconductor supply-demand gap remains massive and the supply side is still expanding." Lee added that chip stocks have amplified volatility in South Korea’s stock market this year. He noted that the semiconductor industry makes up a larger share of South Korea’s economy than in other nations, which has led to sharp market swings. However, he emphasized that despite these market fluctuations, South Korea’s economic fundamentals remain robust.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin’s monitoring, the whale that opened roughly $187 million in high-leverage long positions on the early morning two days ago, betting on a rebound, has had some of its positions liquidated. The whale’s long position of 4,890 ETH, valued at around $11.74 million, was liquidated at $2,356 during today’s 5 AM early morning dip. This liquidation price exactly matches the low point of ETH’s recent early morning flash price pin, and this liquidation may have helped drive the formation of that low.
