South Carolina drops collateral lawsuit against Coinbase

Paul Grewal, chief legal officer of Coinbase, said on the X platform that South Carolina has joined Vermont in withdrawing its staking lawsuit against Coinbase. Grewal said that staking services will soon be restored to South Carolina users, which is not only a victory for Coinbase, but also a victory for American consumers. He hopes that this decision will affect other states that still have restrictions on staking services. Grewal added that South Carolina users lost about $2 million in staking rewards due to this case, and the 52 million cryptocurrency holders in the United States deserve reasonable consumer protection and clear regulations. He praised South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson's efforts in resolving this matter and hoped that other states that restrict staking would pay attention to this change.

Hyperliquid optimizes risk management mechanism and will compensate JELLY long users

According to Hyperliquid's announcement, due to the abnormal trading event in the JELLY market, users holding JELLY long positions will be compensated at a price of 0.037555 at the time of settlement. Except for the marked address, this compensation is beneficial to all JELLY traders. Event review: • A trader self-traded a JELLY position worth 4 million USDC at a price of 0.0095. • Subsequently, the price of JELLY rose more than 4 times, and HLP triggered a buyback and liquidated the position, causing damage to the value of the HLP account. • Although the 4 million USDC position did not exceed the dynamic open interest (OI) limit, it failed to prevent further opening of positions after triggering the automatic limit. • The key problem is that after HLP took over the position, it shared collateral with other strategy components and did not trigger automatic reduction of positions (ADL). Hyperliquid has strengthened risk management, including: • HLP Liquidator management: set stricter account value limits, reduce rebalancing frequency, and introduce more complex buyback liquidation logic. If the loss of Liquidator exceeds the threshold, ADL will be triggered instead of automatically using the collateral of other components. • Dynamic adjustment of OI limit: The open interest limit will be adjusted dynamically according to the market value. • Asset delisting mechanism: Validators will delist assets below the threshold through on-chain voting. Hyperliquid promises to continue to optimize the system and enhance risk prevention capabilities.
