Fact Check
Multiple sources strongly corroborate the core claims. Evidence from Coin360 and Wu Blockchain confirms that Hyperliquid led the market in a massive liquidation event. The Coin360 article specifically states Hyperliquid processed '$10.28 billion in total liquidations, with $9.3' billion being a component of that, directly supporting the figure in the statement. While the 'four hours' timeframe is not explicitly confirmed, the recency ('6 hours ago') and scale of the event described make it plausible. The evidence is consistent and comes from credible crypto news sources.
