According to Lookonchain, a trader deposited $5.08M into Hyperliquid and used maximum leverage (25x) to short ETH, losing $4.77M in under 8 hours and leaving just $310K remaining (source: Lookonchain Twitter, May 9, 2025). This high-profile liquidation highlights the extreme risks of leveraged ETH shorting during volatile markets. Such large-scale liquidations can lead to rapid price swings and increased volatility, impacting both ETH spot and derivatives trading strategies.
