According to the source, a single whale reportedly shorted $751M notional of ETH and realized over $89M profit within one day (source: X post, Oct 11, 2025). The source adds the same trader then opened a 10x BTC short worth $92M, implying roughly $9.2M initial margin under standard 10x conventions (source: X post, Oct 11, 2025). On a $751M notional, an $89M daily PnL equates to about 11.8% of notional, highlighting the trade’s size and potential market impact if executed on major derivatives venues (source: X post, Oct 11, 2025).

According to @OnchainLens, wallet 0x8c5 deposited $4 million in USDC into HyperLiquid to raise the liquidation price on its ETH short position using 20x leverage, with the position showing a $14 million unrealized loss and $26 million total drawdown. Onchain Lens and the HyperDash trader page for address 0x8c5865689EABe45645fa034e53d0c9995DCcb9c9 corroborate the tracked account and open short exposure. Based on the 20x leverage reported by @OnchainLens, added margin reduces immediate liquidation risk but keeps a large high-leverage ETH short active, so monitoring this address and HyperLiquid liquidation levels remains relevant for near-term ETH perps flows, per @OnchainLens and HyperDash.

According to @OnchainLens, a newly created wallet deposited 5.1M USDC into HyperLiquid and opened a 20x ETH short sized at 10,796 ETH with $50.83M notional, entry price $4,718.1, and liquidation at $5,086.8, source: @OnchainLens; corroborated by HypurrScan address 0x091159A8106b077C13e89bC09701117e8b5F129A. The liquidation level is 7.8 percent above the reported entry price, calculated from the provided figures, source: @OnchainLens. Based on the reported notional and leverage, implied initial margin is approximately $2.54M (notional/20), while the $5.1M deposit suggests roughly a $2.56M margin buffer on the account, calculation based on figures from @OnchainLens. PnL sensitivity for this position is about $107,960 per $10 move in ETH and around $0.51M per 1 percent move, calculation based on figures from @OnchainLens. Key trading levels to monitor for this account are the $4,718.1 average entry and the $5,086.8 short liquidation trigger on HyperLiquid, source: @OnchainLens; HypurrScan address 0x091159A8106b077C13e89bC09701117e8b5F129A.
