According to Lookonchain, whale trader 0x20B1 was forced to close all $HYPE short positions with 5x leverage on Hyperliquid, realizing a $23.5 million loss as HYPE surged sharply. Since April 29, 0x20B1 had deposited a total of $30.5 million USDC to maintain these short positions, but after liquidating the trades just two hours ago, only $6.98 million remains. This significant liquidation highlights increased volatility and risk in the $HYPE market, signaling potential for further price swings and increased attention from crypto traders monitoring major whale moves.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), prominent BTC trader James Wynn has increased his Bitcoin long position to 6437.76 BTC, totaling approximately $700 million. The entry price for this position is $109,063 with a liquidation level at $99,946. The current unrealized profit stands at $9.87 million. This aggressive accumulation signals high conviction in further BTC upside but also elevates liquidation risk if BTC price falls below $100,000 (Source: @ai_9684xtpa, May 21, 2025). Traders should monitor Wynn’s position size as large whale moves can impact short-term BTC volatility and trigger cascading liquidations across the crypto derivatives market.
