According to CoinDesk, around 11 PM Beijing time on May 28, the SPACEX-USDH perpetual contract on Hyperliquid plummeted from $2,277 to a low of $1,254 within 30 minutes, a drop of nearly 45%, and then partially rebounded to $2,157.
This flash crash resulted in the liquidation of 1,393 positions held by 405 users, with a nominal value loss of $1.51 million. The median margin of the liquidated positions was only $31, indicating a predominance of retail investors. This contract is a synthetic perpetual contract for SpaceX's market valuation, as SpaceX is not yet publicly listed and has no publicly available price benchmark, trading only on a private secondary market aimed at qualified investors. The trading volume of this contract in the past 24 hours was only $5.01 million, with an open interest of less than $2.9 million, and the market depth was insufficient to absorb large sell orders. SpaceX plans to conduct an IPO in June.
