James Wynn Rose to Crypto Fame by Betting on PEPE When Its Market Cap Was Only $600,000
May 27, 2025 at 11:00 pm
His forecast that the token would reach a $4.2 billion cap came in April 2023, when PEPE was valued at $4.2 million.
James Wynn, a crypto trader known for his early bet on PEPE token when its market cap was $600,000, has been making headlines again for his trading exploits on Hyperliquid.
According to Lookonchain, Wynn, who is also a prominent meme coin trader, began leveraged trading on Hyperliquid in March 2025. In just under two months, from March 13 to May 23, he managed to accumulate an impressive $46.5 million in profit.
According to Hyperdash, Wynn completed a total of 39 trades on Hyperliquid, with 17 of them profitable, giving him a 43.59% win rate. His profits peaked on May 23 at $87 million.
Among his most profitable trades were:
$25.19 million on a PEPE long
$16.89 million on a Bitcoin (BTC) long
$6.83 million from a TRUMP long
$4.84 million on Fartcoin (FARTCOIN)
Hyperliquid also collected approximately $2.31 million in trading fees from Wynn’s activity.
Wynn expressed his loyalty to the platform, stating:
“They want me to trade on ByBit, I won’t stop using HyperLiquid even if they offer me $1m a month.”
However, recent trades have seen Wynn rack up some significant losses. On May 25 alone, he suffered a $15.86 million setback on a short BTC trade. Other notable losses include:
$3.69 million on a long Ethereum (ETH) position
$1.59 million on a long SUI trade
$976,635 from another BTC long
$858,580 loss from a 10x leveraged long on PEPE
At press time, Wynn is still in a 40x leveraged BTC long that is showing over $1 million in unrealized loss. These recent setbacks have slashed his total profit to $13 million.
