Hyperliquid Whale Loses $44.67M After 14-Win Streak — Perps Risk-of-Ruin Warning for Leverage Traders
According to @EmberCN, a large Hyperliquid trader won 14 consecutive high-size entries, banking $15.83M, but then lost $44.67M on the 15th trade, wiping out prior profits plus $28.76M principal (source: @EmberCN, hyperbot.network/trader/0xc2a30212a8ddac9e123944d6e29faddce994e5f2). According to @EmberCN, the trader fully closed all positions roughly three hours prior to the report and was left with only $1.40M margin, effectively near zero equity for active perps trading (source: @EmberCN). According to @EmberCN, the reported balances imply an approximate 97% drawdown versus the pre-loss equity of about $44.59M, underscoring how a single uncontained loss can erase multi-trade gains in crypto perpetuals (source: @EmberCN). According to @EmberCN, this case highlights the risk-of-ruin from oversized positions on decentralized perps venues like Hyperliquid, where aggressive exposure can rapidly convert long winning streaks into total capital impairment (source: @EmberCN). |
