A trader placed a $5.44 million 10x leveraged short on Nvidia perpetual contracts on the decentralized crypto exchange Hyperliquid following reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair. This trade highlights how decentralized platforms allow around-the-clock leveraged trading on US stocks using synthetic contracts settled in stablecoins, enabling immediate market reactions to news outside traditional stock hours. The large short position is significant given the $57-$59 million open interest on Nvidia contracts on Hyperliquid, showing growing interest in crypto-based equity derivatives. Such trades can be volatile due to thin off-hour markets and reliance on oracle pricing, posing risks and opportunities for traders and pressure on traditional brokerages.
