A prominent trader on Hyperliquid, who previously made headlines for a $150 million profit from shorting during a crypto crash, has opened another significant short position valued at over $160 million. Speculation connects this trader to Garrett Jin, the former CEO of BitForex, although these links remain unverified.

A trader who previously made $192 million by shorting Bitcoin during a recent market crash has opened a new $163 million short position on the cryptocurrency, raising speculation about possible insider knowledge due to the timing of a recent tariff announcement. Operating on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, the trader's position is highly leveraged and has already yielded profits, contributing to concerns about market stability amid ongoing volatility.

James Wynn, a prominent crypto trader, faced full liquidation after placing high-leverage bets on Hyperliquid, resulting in a net loss exceeding $17 million. His downfall was triggered by a $1.25 billion long position on Bitcoin, which led to significant losses as prices fell amid market volatility. Despite the setback, Wynn remains optimistic about his trading future, stating he will continue to take calculated risks.
