Last week, prominent crypto trader James Wynn closed a massive $1.25 billion notional long position on Bitcoin using 40x leverage on the onchain decentralized exchange (DEX) Hyperliquid.
He then flipped bearish on Bitcoin. On Sunday, Wynn opened a BTC short position of 1,038.7 Bitcoin (BTC) at $107,711.1, with a liquidation price of $149,100.

The trader, who is followed by over 100,000 users on X, previously stated that he would be closing out his positions on Monday.
With whales like Wynn placing billion-dollar positions on Hyperliquid, attention around the protocol has intensified. Traders are betting that early regulatory engagement could further legitimize HYPE’s uptrend.
One trader wrote on X that the “growth has reached the ceiling,” adding that there are strong competitors.
“Although there are many giants and extraordinary people supporting Hype, I think that the best short-selling target with large capacity, good liquidity and clearest logic may be Hype.”
Hype做空的时刻还没到。但是快到了。Hype现在回购多少?一天按5M算,一年肯定1B不到,因为有熊市和周期存在。
目前5M收入已经是巅峰时刻。增长肯定有限了。
还有二期空投释放和团队解锁。按FDV来算,37B的价格,哥们,全流通的话PE 接近40了,目前流通也PE13,不算贵。— 风无向🎒 (@0x0xFeng) May 26, 2024
Further, James Wynn withdrew 28M USDC from Hyperliquid, with a $25.2M profit. Also on Monday, he made 38 trades on Hyperliquid in the past 75 days. Of these trades, 17 were profitable with a 45% win rate, the post read.
HyperFND X Account Breached
Meanwhile, Hyperliquid reported that HyperFND’s official X account was compromised on Saturday.
“The Hyperliquid blockchain is unaffected. Do not interact with any links or tweets from that account,” the protocol posted on X.

Per the latest update on Monday, Hyperliquid said that the team conducted a “thorough investigation” with assistance from X’s security.
“There was no compromise of internal systems, email, or associated credentials,” the update read. “Hardware 2FA was untouched.”
The community was urged to stay vigilant and verify any news shared on social media accounts. “If an announcement looks suspicious, do not interact,” the team cautioned.
