Semiconductor-linked contracts on Hyperliquid fell across the board on July 17, according to monitoring data from Hyperinsight, pushing a cluster of leveraged long positions into stop-loss exits. Since 00:00 that day, SKHY was down 8.1%, SNDK fell 7.1%, SKHX dropped 6.4%, and MU lost 3.8%. Among previously tracked addresses, six whales had already stopped out of more than $1 million each across the four major contracts cited. In total, they closed $16.852 million worth of long positions and realized combined losses of $1.072 million. The liquidations were heavily concentrated in SKHY, where five of the six whales recorded their seven-figure stop-losses. The remaining whale exited across three contracts, taking losses of about $386,000 on SKHY, $332,000 on SNDK, and $304,000 on MU, for a combined loss of roughly $1.022 million. Hyperinsight said Hynix ADR was both the steepest decliner in the group and the most crowded exit for leveraged longs.
