ETH Trading Volume on Hyperliquid Exceeds BTC, Reaching Approximately $1.1 Billion in 24 Hours
On October 11, the trading volume of ETH on the Hyperliquid platform reached approximately $1.1 billion in the last 24 hours, surpassing BTC's $805 million. Market analysts believe that the increase in ETH trading volume is related to suspected exploitation of the PaperTrade mechanism. Earlier today, reports indicated that PaperTrade was allegedly manipulated by two addresses, revealing a significant vulnerability in the protocol: the two wallet addresses executed trades on Hyperliquid with a single transaction size of about $20 million, causing ETH prices to fluctuate by approximately 10 to 20 basis points, and establishing long positions with a notional value of several hundred million dollars on PaperTrade.

CFTC Issues Two Proposals Clarifying Prediction Markets as Derivatives, Excluding Casino Gambling
On October 11, Cointelegraph reported that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has released two proposals to clarify its regulatory authority over prediction markets. The first proposal defines event contracts related to sports, politics, culture, and weather as 'swaps' products under federal law. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that these products fall under the category of commodity derivatives as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act, and are fully within the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC. The second proposal establishes boundaries, explicitly stating that traditional casino-style gambling products—including sports betting and casino games—do not fall within the definition of 'swaps' and are not considered derivatives. This move comes in the context of prediction market operators like Kalshi and Polymarket facing joint lawsuits from multiple states, accused of operating illegal gambling businesses; the CFTC is counter-suing and issuing new regulations in an attempt to clarify the regulatory boundaries between federal and state authorities, paving the way for a potential Supreme Court ruling.
