Forbes survey: More than one-third of the 50 Wall Street giants no longer support Trump's economic policies

ChainCatcher news, recently, Forbes contacted 50 top leaders on Wall Street, including billionaire investors, major institutional asset management firms, and the largest wealth advisors in the United States, to gauge their level of support for President Trump's economic strategy since taking office.These 50 respondents were selected for their significant influence. Among these Wall Street heavyweights—more than half of whom supported his economic policies when Trump returned to the White House in January—72% stated that the Trump team's economic plan is ineffective, and 66% do not support his economic policies. Among those who supported Trump just weeks ago, more than a third no longer back his economic policies, with the majority (54%) indicating that Trump has failed to implement his plans.Forbes also surveyed these Wall Street moguls on specific aspects of Trump's economic policies, asking them to rate them on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most favorable score. Their ratings were mostly poor. On the issue of tariffs, Trump received a score of 1.86 (out of 5), with 27 respondents giving the lowest rating. In terms of the stock market, his score was similarly dismal at 1.96 (25 respondents rated him a 1 out of 5), while the executive order targeting law firms was almost equally poor at 2.10—this is a direct attack on the rule of law that underpins the American free enterprise system. The ratings for cryptocurrency (2.0) and inflation (2.16) were also disappointing.

Hyperliquid co-founder responds to concerns about agreement security: Leveraging system and HLP liquidation mechanism have been updated

ChainCatcher message, Hyperliquid co-founder @chameleon_jeff responded on X to concerns that "the Hyperliquid protocol may suffer significant losses due to market manipulation":Hyperliquid's margin design strictly ensures the platform's solvency through mathematical mechanisms, with HLP's losses always limited to its own treasury, and the protocol's operation never relying on HLP------this feature existed prior to the JELLYJELLY incident. The newly added protective mechanisms after the incident only optimize HLP's loss resistance in backup liquidation, and the underlying architecture of the protocol has not changed. In the recent JELLYJELLY incident, an attacker attempted to manipulate HLP (liquidity provider pool) by establishing a massive long and short position on themselves. Although the unliquidated contract limit at that time allowed for the establishment of a position worth 4 million USDC, the logical flaw was that HLP used its entire fund balance as collateral for this liquidation. It should be clarified that the platform itself does not face solvency risks, but HLP did face excessive risk exposure due to market manipulation.Currently, HLP's liquidation component treasury has set a collateral limit, restricting potential losses through the backup liquidation mechanism. Hyperliquid still maintains its original operating mechanism, processing under-collateralized positions in the following order: 1) market liquidation 2) backup liquidation 3) automatic deleveraging (ADL). The current backup liquidation of HLP has added protective mechanisms by setting loss limits, making the cost of manipulating the mark price far exceed the limited gains that can be obtained from HLP.
