According to Huoxun Finance, on-chain analysts pointed out that Hyperliquid HLP lost approximately $1.2 million within 24 hours due to taking over a large Fartcoin long position suspected of malicious activity (which has since been closed), corresponding to a drawdown of approximately 0.35%. The attacker's modus operandi was as follows: first, establish a large leveraged position on a cryptocurrency with low liquidity; deliberately push the position to a loss-making state, intentionally depleting their own funds; after the position was liquidated, the ADL mechanism was activated, forcing HLP to bear the loss and inherit the toxic position and its resulting bad debts; ultimately, although the attacker themselves suffered financial losses, HLP faced even greater losses. Hyperliquid HLP's real-time data shows that the Vault currently has a TVL of approximately $420 million, with an APR of 0% over the past month.

According to Huoxun Finance, Anthropic employees have completed a partial secondary sale of their shares initiated earlier this year. However, due to a limited number of shares employees were willing to sell, some investors were unable to acquire the full amount of shares as planned.

The total amount raised in this share sale has not been disclosed, but it is lower than the $6 billion previously raised by investors. Anthropic employees hope to retain more shares ahead of the company's expected initial public offering (IPO) this year. This lower-than-expected transaction reflects employee optimism about the company's prospects as its annualized revenue rises: last month, the company's annualized revenue exceeded $19 billion, and in April, it announced that its annualized operating revenue had surpassed $30 billion.
