A crypto investor known as the Hyperunit whale, with a history of highly accurate market moves, has just opened new long positions in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This move follows a series of successful trades, including shorts during the recent downturn.
Hyperunit Whale Opens $55M Long Position on BTC and ETH
A well-known crypto investor, referred to as the Hyperunit whale, has taken new long positions in both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). On-chain data reveals that he opened a $37 million long position in BTC and an $18 million long in ETH on the decentralized derivatives platform, Hyperliquid. This trading activity has drawn attention due to his recent accurate calls and large-scale profits.
The same investor previously built a large BTC position during the 2018 bear market, acquiring approximately $850 million worth of Bitcoin. He held those assets until they were valued at more than $10 billion, according to Arkham Intelligence.
This current move follows a series of winning trades by the whale, reinforcing his reputation as a market mover who times entries and exits with precision.
Short Positions Closed Before Long Entry
Arkham Intelligence confirmed that the Hyperunit whale fully exited his BTC short positions before opening his current long trades. His last set of shorts totaled $227 million and came after a $200 million gain from correctly predicting the October 10 market drop.
“The $10B whale who made $200M shorting the China Tariff market crash has fully closed out his most recent BTC shorts,” Arkham posted on X.
In addition to his recent activity, the Hyperunit whale’s previous rotation of $5 billion in BTC into ETH between August and October 2025 further indicates active and high-conviction trading behavior.
His trades are consistently high-volume and often followed by major price movements, making him one of the most watched wallets in the crypto ecosystem.
