Legendary Hyperliquid trader, JamesWynnReal, has finally been liquidated fully, with his account left with just $21.50. He shot to fame after his degenerately large positions on Hyperliquid, with his 40x BTC longs worth over $800M, and a liquidation price publicly visible on-chain. He soon became the first trader on Hyperliquid to hold a billion dollar trade in a single position, first long BTC and then later short. His trades led him to a profit of over $82M, before the market quickly humbled him.
Over the next week, he began to take losing trade after losing trade, wiping out his profit from the week before. And just over a week after his peak, he had wiped out all of his profit, losing a total of $102M from his peak. Although he seems to have stopped trading for now, his recent tweets seem to imply that he will soon return to the markets once again.
