Markets Alpha(@MarketsAlpha):A few hours ago, the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund received the AQAv2 payment for Period 1: 14.58M USDC. At its latest buying pace, this could keep its cash balance above $10k for another 2–3 days. It works in a very simple way, using the same $10k order size as before: it places limit buy orders and constantly refreshes them. They’re basically to Chase Limit Orders. This limits how much someone can sell into each order, but they can still sell into successive bids and drain the AF’s cash quickly. As of 07:52 0 UTC, the AF had spent 1.62M USDC buying HYPE since the payment and still held 13.10M USDC. At the buying pace of the latest two hours, and accounting for its normal weekday fee income, it would take roughly another 2–3 days to get back towards $10k, if that pace holds.
