On January 15th, on-chain monitoring showed that a well-known whale wallet 0xBd8 closed a 5x leveraged HYPE long position. The liquidation price was unfavorable—resulting in a direct loss of $7.18 million.

But that’s not all. Including previous losses, this whale’s total loss has soared to $8.09 million. Even more heartbreaking, it immediately withdrew all remaining funds from the platform.

What does this operation reveal? High leverage trading is like a double-edged sword. When making money, it’s exhilarating; when losing, it can make you question life. Leverage of several times or ten times may seem tempting, but the risks are often severely underestimated. A wrong bet in one direction can wipe out millions in an instant.

What’s next? The flow of whale funds and the positions held by major players—these are the key factors that determine the short-term trends of $BTC, $ETH, and $HYPE. The market’s temperament is often dominated by the actions of these big players.
