James Wynn: The Hyperliquid Whale

James Wynn, known for his high-leverage Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and altcoin transactions, earned $100 million with leveraged trades over recent months.

However, following a significant loss in late June, Wynn lost everything he had gained. His short position on Bitcoin also failed, as Bitcoin continued to rise, eventually surpassing $116,000. In response, Wynn changed his X profile to “bankrupt” and closed his account.

The Hyperliquid Whale is Back!

Wynn’s break from trading didn’t last long. After a brief hiatus, the Hyperliquid whale returned to the market. According to Lookonchain, Wynn reopened a long position in PEPE after his short break. He opened a long position in PEPE with 10x leverage, totaling approximately $10,000, at an entry price of $0.012 and a liquidation price of $0.0114.
