HYPE

Summary

Hyperliquid has activated its automatic deleveraging (ADL) mechanism in key perpetual contract markets to improve risk management during extreme volatility. The ADL system reduces profitable high-leverage positions in exceptional market conditions, supported by margin checks and real-time risk tools, building on the platform’s earlier cross-margin ADL deployment. Future enhancements are planned, including expanded insurance fund coverage and integration of additional data sources.

Terms & Concepts
  • Cross-Margin: A margin system where all positions share the same margin pool, allowing profits from one position to offset losses in another.
  • Auto-Deleveraging (ADL): An automated risk management process that reduces leveraged positions to prevent insolvency when a trader’s losses exceed available margin.
