What is Hyperliquid and how does it work for oil trading?

Hyperliquid's a decentralized perp exchange. Trade oil futures 24/7, no middlemen. Volumes hit billions — beating ETH perps.

How did Loracle make $2 million shorting oil?

Shorted $5M oil perps last week. Ceasefire news tanks prices 15%. Closed position Wednesday. Pure profit.

Safe? Ha. It's high-use degen trading. Wins like Loracle's happen — losses wipe wallets too.
