According to @ai_9684xtpa, a suspected compromised Binance account attempted to move funds via cross-trading by aggressively buying spot BROCCOLI714, a low-liquidity token, creating extreme order-book imbalances and a sharp spot-perp basis blowout (source: @ai_9684xtpa on X citing @Vida_BWE). According to @ai_9684xtpa, Binance’s BROCCOLI714 perpetuals triggered a circuit breaker; after trading resumed, Vida went long immediately and later closed on bid withdrawal, capturing around 1 million dollars as detailed in his recap (source: @ai_9684xtpa on X; source: @Vida_BWE on X). Vida stated he held spot near 0.016 and a 500,000 USDT BROCCOLI714USDT funding-rate arbitrage; when spot value jumped to roughly 800,000 USDT versus 500,000 USDT perps, he closed the arb to lock about 300,000 USDT before the directional trades (source: @Vida_BWE on X). Vida reported seeing approximately 5 million USDT bid at 10 percent depth on Binance spot versus only about 50,000 USDT on perps, and roughly 26 million USDT of total spot bids for a roughly 40 million dollar market-cap token, indicating nonstandard activity likely tied to the suspected theft or a market-maker bug (source: @Vida_BWE on X; source: @ai_9684xtpa on X). Per @ai_9684xtpa, Binance risk controls appeared to intervene, preventing further BROCCOLI714 orders; the attacker then turned to SOL before canceling orders and ending the episode (source: @ai_9684xtpa on X). Vida emphasized his alert rules for short-term surges and spot-perp divergence as key triggers, underscoring the value of monitoring basis and order-book depth during small-cap anomalies (source: @Vida_BWE on X).

According to @EmberCN, a whale/institution bought about 7.5M USDT worth of $ASTER on spot while a linked wallet simultaneously opened a 3x leveraged short for 6.486M $ASTER on Hyperliquid, matching the spot size, source: @EmberCN. This positioning indicates a hedge or funding rate arbitrage rather than a naked long, given Hyperliquid’s positive funding where longs pay shorts with an annualized rate near 450% at the time, source: @EmberCN. The short/arb address is shown at hyperbot.network/trader/0x45d26f28196d226497130c4bAc709d808fEd4029, source: @EmberCN. For traders, the flow signals largely delta-neutral exposure and reduces the likelihood that the spot buy adds directional upward pressure on $ASTER, source: @EmberCN.
