A whale on HyperLiquid, a popular decentralized perpetual exchange, has now deposited a total of $29 million to the platform in order to short Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Bitcoin (BTC).
According to the data provided by Whale Alert, the whale upped the ante, depositing another $12 million.
The aforementioned coins are being shorted simultaneously with 3X leverage.
The total value of the massive position currently stands at a whopping $69 million.
Earlier today, the whale recorded a floating loss of over $3 million.
According to the live position dashboard provided by the platform, the trader has an unrealized loss of $1.5 million at press time. The Ethereum (ETH) short alone accounts for the vast majority of the loss ($1.2 million).
The position will get liquidated if Ethereum surges to $4,489. However, it has a cross-margin pool, meaning that the entire account will be affected if one asset sees a sudden price surge.
It is worth noting that the whale is earning funding through all of their shorts since most traders are currently long.
