On Hyperliquid, a major trader just opened an aggressive 40x leveraged short on Bitcoin after depositing $3 million to fuel the position. This move signals significant bearish sentiment from a whale-sized account.
The same trader isn't putting all eggs in one basket either—they're running a 25x leverage short on Ethereum as well, and that position is already in the green with $1.96 million in unrealized profits. Not a bad start.
Looking at their current exposure: they're holding roughly 1,073.5 contracts worth of BTC shorts, alongside their Ethereum position. These are serious numbers that suggest either conviction in a near-term pullback or hedging against existing long exposure elsewhere.

40x short? This guy really dares to do it, betting so big is just an all-in move.

The big whale is starting to dump again, and this time it seems like it's really going to fall.

This whale is playing pretty aggressively, directly throwing 3 million with 40x leverage.

This whale probably intends to dump the market, playing with 40x leverage to short Bitcoin so aggressively.

Is the big whale betting on a short? This move could either make a fortune or get liquidated directly...
