SK Hynix ADR trades at a 23.41% premium to Korean shares as two whales bet on convergence

Data tracked by Hyperinsight shows a sizable gap between SK Hynix contracts on Hyperliquid. As of publication, the Korean share contract SKHX was quoted at $1,245.4 with roughly $1.021 billion in 24-hour volume, while the U.S. ADR contract SKHY traded at $153.69 with about $136 million in volume. Using the conversion of 10 ADRs to one Korean common share, SKHY implies a price of $1,536.9, or $291.5 above the Korean share equivalent. That puts the ADR premium at about 23.41%, while the Korean share trades at an 18.97% discount on the reverse calculation. Funding rates are not favorable for traders betting on the spread to close. SKHYNIX carried an hourly funding rate of +0.06132%, meaning longs pay shorts, while SKHY stood at -0.00463%, meaning shorts pay longs. Even so, two visible large addresses were still running convergence trades. One address beginning with 0x257 held a 10x leveraged long in 2,500.42 SKHX and a 10x leveraged short in 31,031.66 SKHY, for a combined notional of about $7.891 million and a floating profit of roughly $339,000. Another address beginning with 0xf517 held a long in 2,145.256 SKHX at 10x and a short in 22,223.39 SKHY at 5x, with a position ratio near the 1:10 ADR conversion and a combined size of about $6.093 million.
