Comer has written to Hyperliquid CEO Jeff Yan about a leveraged short position (a trade positioned for a price decline) linked to an October 2025 tariff announcement. The correspondence says the position was established before the tariff news became publicly known, prompting questions about whether non-public information influenced the trade. Comer is seeking clarification on the transaction and the decentralized exchange's (peer-to-peer trading platform's) market oversight mechanisms.
