Whale of a Tale: $500M Trader’s Wild Ride with MELANIA Coin! 🐋💸

by

In a world where the only thing more volatile than the weather is the cryptocurrency market, our enigmatic HyperLiquid trader has once again decided to make waves. Having just closed a $524 million Bitcoin short that sent shockwaves through the digital ether, this financial leviathan has now turned its beady eyes towards the elusive MELANIA coin. Yes, you heard that right—MELANIA! Because why not throw a little glamour into the mix? 💁‍♂️

Now, this trader, who clearly has a penchant for high-stakes gambling, has placed a rather audacious $2.73 million bet on MELANIA. They went long with a 5x leverage, which is a bit like trying to balance on a tightrope while juggling flaming swords—exciting, but not particularly wise. And surprise, surprise, the price has decided to take a nosedive, dropping from a hopeful $0.7307 to a rather dismal $0.7079. That’s a loss of $74,787 in unrealized losses, which is just a fancy way of saying, “Oops, I did it again!” 🎢

To kick off this rollercoaster ride, our trader initially plopped down $546,929.73 of their own hard-earned cash, plus an additional $931.39 in fees—because who doesn’t love paying extra for the privilege of losing money? It’s like buying a ticket to a concert only to find out the band is a bunch of tone-deaf cats. 🐱🎤

This trader has a history that reads like a cautionary tale for aspiring investors. They once placed a $333.9 million Bitcoin short with a staggering 40x leverage, entering at $84,040.80. Spoiler alert: that didn’t end well. Bitcoin decided to play hard to get, and our trader was down $1 million faster than you can say “liquidation.” 💔

Before that, they pulled off a jaw-dropping 50x Ethereum long that netted them $1.8 million, but also managed to wipe $4 million from Hyperliquid’s HLP Vault. Talk about a party crasher! This little escapade even forced the platform to change its rules, which is like putting a speed limit sign in front of a racetrack. 🏎️💨

And now, with this new MELANIA long, our trader is back at it again, stacking positions like a kid with building blocks—only these blocks are worth thousands of dollars and can come crashing down at any moment. They didn’t just buy all at once, oh no! They decided to sprinkle their purchases in chunks ranging from 4,823 to 44,156 tokens, all while racking up a small USDC fee for each delightful transaction. Because why not add a little extra chaos to the mix? 🎉
