According to Lookonchain, whale address 0x670d recently deposited 3.37 million USDC into Hyperliquid and initiated a short position on PEPE using 3x leverage (source: Lookonchain, May 29, 2025). This significant leveraged short could increase downward pressure on PEPE’s price and signals bearish sentiment among large holders. Traders should monitor PEPE’s liquidity and open interest as this move may trigger increased volatility and potential liquidations. The event highlights growing institutional activity in meme coins and could influence related altcoins in the crypto market.

According to Lookonchain, a major crypto whale deposited 17 million USDC into Hyperliquid and initiated large-scale short positions on Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Bitcoin (BTC) at 3x leverage. As a result of recent market upswings, the whale is now facing a realized loss exceeding $1.2 million. This significant loss underscores the risks of high-leverage trading on decentralized platforms and may cause increased volatility in ETH, SOL, and BTC as large liquidations or position adjustments could impact perpetual futures and spot prices.
