According to Coinglass, Wynn entered the BTC position at an average price of around $108K. The trade has seen massive volatility. At one point, the position showed a paper profit of $17 million. However, the trade is currently in unrealized loss of $15.6 million. Despite this, at the moment, the position is showing a profit of about $14 million and liquidation price is at $95,805, which is still safe with BTC trading above $110K.
