Hyperliquid [HYPE] Founder Jeff Yan has been shot back on Binance [BNB] founder Changpeng Zhao (Cz) For the advocation of open positions of private traders as the best approach to prevent the liquidation hunt in Defi -trade.
In an x (formerly Twitter) message on 3 June, Yan expressed”
“Users are less quickly hunted if everyone knows liquidation and the prices stops when only the Exchange Operator (CEX) knows.”
Yan suggested that only ‘margin privacy’ or liquidation level must be kept secret to prevent a ‘liquidation yacht’.
Liquidation level is a price that, when touched, an automatic liquidation of a margin or lifting tree position will activate the CEX (centralized exchange) or DEX (decentralized exchange).
Hyperliquid better for whales?
Yan, however, noted that Cexes have a trade with prior knowledge and operators with access to the margin data of the promoted ‘private’ pools. As a result, CEX operators can hunt whale positions.
He said that the liquidation hunt could be reduced if the swimming pool (open positions) is public, such as Hyperliquid Dex. In this way, a whale can mislead liquidation hunters to prevent and get market input with a discount.
