TradeXYZ restores GitBook documentation after unauthorized activity and warns against clicking links
Hyperliquid perpetuals platform TradeXYZ reported unauthorized activity on its GitBook documentation on Monday morning. While the team restored the pages by 9:15 a.m. ET, it warned users to avoid clicking any links in the documents while an investigation continues.
TradeXYZ, the trading platform operating stock, index, and commodity perpetual futures on Hyperliquid, announced on Monday that it detected unauthorized activity affecting its GitBook documentation pages earlier in the morning.[2][5][6]
In a post published on X, the team stated that the documentation was fully restored to its previous state as of 9:15 a.m. ET (14:15 UTC). Despite the rollback, TradeXYZ advised users as a precaution not to click on any links within the documentation while its review remains ongoing. The team added that it is actively reviewing the incident and will provide further updates as appropriate.[1][5][6]
The announcement did not specify the nature of the breach, whether any documentation links had been manipulated, or if any trading contracts or user funds were exposed. Documentation hubs frequently host official contract addresses, interface links, and setup guides, making them frequent targets for phishing and malicious redirections.[5]

Trade.xyz Tells Users Not to Click Its Documentation Links While It Probes GitBook Incident Trade.xyz , the platform behind stock, index and commodity perpetual futures markets on Hyperliquid , told users on Monday to stay away from every link in its documentation after it detected unauthorized activity on the GitBook pages where those docs are hosted. The company said in an X post, published just before 10 a.m. ET, that it spotted the activity “earlier this morning” and that the documentation “was fully restored to its previous state as of 9:15 AM ET.” It said in the same post that it was “actively reviewing the incident” and would share further updates “as appropriate.” The warning on links stays in place for now. “As a precaution, we advise users not to click on any links within the documentation while our investigation remains ongoing,” trade.xyz wrote.

What Trade.xyz Has Not Said The post did not describe what the unauthorized activity was, how it happened, when it began or whether any pages or links were changed. It also did not say whether the trading app, its smart contracts or any user funds were affected. Why the Docs Matter For a trading venue, the docs are often where users look up official links, market specifications and setup guides, so unauthorized changes to those pages can put users at risk. Trade.xyz’s ICE Deal The incident came four days after a major announcement from the company. On Oct. 29, trade.xyz said that Intercontinental Exchange , the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, was making a strategic investment in it and planned to build a U.S. market for 24/7 Hyperliquid perpetual futures with it, subject to approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission . Billionaire investor Stan Druckenmiller , whom trade.xyz named as another backer, confirmed his stake separately. Trade.xyz’s existing markets run under Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 framework, and the company in its ICE announcement said that they had passed $650 billion in volume in just over a year. Kraken parent Payward has also proposed a route for U.S. traders to reach Hyperliquid-linked perps.
