On the night of April 9, four wallets pumped the FARTCOIN token on the DEX Hyperliquid through long positions, triggering a cascade of liquidations.

This led to a temporary 25% increase in the coin's price—from $0.2 to $0.25. Subsequent order manipulations ensued. In a low-liquidity environment, the attacker initiated a "suicidal" liquidation. The closure of positions activated the ADL mechanism, and the HLP system absorbed the loss-making position. 15-minute FARTCOIN/USDT chart on Binance exchange. Source: TradingView.  Researchers reported that the attacker's "paper" loss amounted to about $3 million. However, he likely secured substantial profits by hedging the rate on other platforms. Following the incident, FARTCOIN's price plummeted. At the time of writing, the token had fallen to $0.19 (-7% in 24 hours). Not Again, But Once More This is not the first attack on Hyperliquid's storage. In March 2025, HLP lost approximately $4 million due to Ethereum speculation—one major participant opened a long position on 175,000 ETH with high leverage. This resulted in a cascade of liquidations, and the trading platform had to absorb part of the losses. In the same month, a similar incident occurred with the JELLYJELLY token. An investor opened two longs worth $2.15 million and $1.9 million. A short position of $4.1 million served as a hedge. The coin's price pump of ~400% led to the liquidation of the short, but due to its volume, assets were transferred to HLP. The exchange had to halt trading on the token contract, but the user managed to withdraw about $6.2 million. Experts from 10x Research noted that Hyperliquid's transparency enabled a "public hunt" on leveraged whales to liquidate their positions.

On April 9, the TON network activated the Catchain 2.0 update, increasing throughput tenfold. The initiative was approved by a majority vote (over 85%). Pavel Durov announced the successful upgrade in a separate post. According to him, the blockchain now creates blocks six times faster, and transactions occur "instantly, in less than a second." The TON blockchain just got upgraded and is now 10× faster.Block rate increased 6×. Transactions are now instant, subsecond.This was step 1 of 7 to Make TON Great Again (MTONGA). Next step: cut the already low transaction fees by 6×.— Pavel Durov (@durov) April 9, 2026 "This was the first of seven steps to Make TON Great Again (MTONGA). The next step: reduce the already low transaction fees by six times," he added. According to TON developers, after Catchain 2.0, block creation time has been reduced to 400 ms across the network. While block mining rewards remain unchanged, the update will temporarily increase validator income by reducing intervals. The blockchain will also continue to use the mechanism of burning 50% of transaction fees. However, a proposal to reduce the reward is up for a vote: from 1.7 TON to 0.35 TON in the masterchain, and from 1 TON to 0.2 TON in the main network. The deadline is set for June. This initiative aims to curb the growth of the annual inflation rate of the TON token. With current rewards and accelerated block issuance, the rate could rise from 0.6% to 3.6%. Following the update release, the TON rate increased by 2% over the day. However, the coin has been in a prolonged correction for over a year, having dropped 57% in the past 12 months. 15-minute chart of TON/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView.
