    Legendary trader JamesWynnReal is back again, this time with a 7,227 BTC long position on-chain worth over $800M. Despite making a public announcement to “leave the casino” while he was still up, he returned just hours later, depositing over $27M in USDC into Hyperliquid over the day. As per his usual trading style, he also has a $10M long on kPEPE open on Hyperliquid. He is currently down a total of $4.8M in unrealized losses on both positions.

    JamesWynnReal is known for his high leverage degenerate bets on-chain, having been the first person to hold more than $1B in a single Hyperliquid perp position on both a BTC long and short in two separate trades over the past week. Despite having a public liquidation price on all of his trades, he has not been liquidated yet.
