Whale Moves $15M Into Hyperliquid After Market Dip
Following a sharp downturn in the market, a known crypto whale deposited $15 million in USDC into the decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid. The deposit occurred on the Arbitrum network and was quickly followed by a series of long, high-leverage trades.
Data shows that all transactions were routed via the HIP-2 protocol, indicating automated or structured order placement. Within moments of funding the account, the whale entered leveraged long positions across four tokens: BTC, SOL, HYPE, and PUMP.
At present, the wallet’s total balance exceeds $17 million, including $15 million in perpetual contracts and over $1.9 million in spot assets. No assets are held in vaults or staking at this time.
BTC and SOL Lead Whale’s Positions
The largest position is a BTC-USD long worth $22.46 million, opened with 20x cross leverage. The trade was entered at $112,727.8 for a total of 199 BTC. As of now, it shows an unrealized profit of $32,475.91. The liquidation level for this position is set at $38,459.
The second-largest trade is on SOL-USD, valued at $4.46 million, and opened with 20x leverage. The entry price was $220.78 for 19,999 SOL, and the unrealized profit is currently at $46,377.61.
Both trades were executed within minutes of the USDC deposit, suggesting a rapid, reactive strategy to capture potential rebounds after the market decline.
Additional Positions in HYPE and PUMP
The whale also opened smaller positions on HYPE-USD and PUMP-USD. The HYPE position, worth $1.2 million, was opened at 10x leverage for 25,000 HYPE tokens, entered at $47.95 and now showing a profit of $12,555.74.
In contrast, the PUMP position is currently in the red. The trade, valued at $99,742, was opened with 5x leverage at an entry of $0.00586 for over 17 million tokens. It now shows a small unrealized loss of $342.65.
