On-chain data from HypurrScan shows whale address 0xde42 sold 50,000 $HYPE tokens worth approximately $2.41 million…
The market maker's first serious DeFi product lands in a curator-architecture lane already crowded by Morpho and Steakhouse — but Wintermute's OTC balance sheet is a distribution angle neither can…

The launch turns non-custodial, no-identity-check token swaps into a five-endpoint Bearer-auth REST integration — and lets every partner keep 0–4% of the spread as USDT.
A compromised admin key let the attacker mint 1,000 unauthorised eBTC and launder proceeds through Tornado Cash — the latest in a string of mega-exploits now totaling hundreds of millions across DeFi.
