Fact Check
The claim is fully corroborated by its original source, the X post from crypto analyst @ai_9684xtpa (Ai 姨), and independently republished by three Chinese crypto outlets (PANews, BlockBeats, Odaily). Every specific figure matches: $7.106M position value, $6.94M OKX-sourced margin, 5x leverage, two newly created addresses becoming KAITO's top two Hyperliquid positions, ~20% 24-hour drop, and $991K floating loss. A separate Odaily flash confirms the $0.9667 intraday low. The main caveat is that this is on-chain analytics attributed to a single analyst (the news outlets all trace back to the same X post), so it is not independently verified by the exchanges themselves; the framing of coordinated 'manipulation' is the analyst's interpretation. The factual on-chain figures, however, are consistent and verifiable via the linked wallet portfolios.
Summary
Two newly created addresses opened cumulative 5x leveraged long positions in KAITO on Hyperliquid with a combined position size of $7.106 million, funded by $6.94 million in margin sourced from OKX, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi. The trades became the largest and second-largest KAITO positions on the platform even as KAITO fell nearly 20% over 24 hours, including an intraday drop of more than 16% to $0.9667 before recovering to $1.1062 on OKX data. After the decline, the two addresses were sitting on combined floating losses of $991,000.
