A newly created wallet deposited 6.68 million USDC into Hyperliquid and opened $48 million in 20x leveraged short positions on Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum. The position includes 430.64 BTC, 181,245 SOL, and 4,280 ETH, heavily weighted towards Bitcoin. Such high leverage means even a small price rebound could liquidate the trader. This bet adds to a series of large, risky shorts on Hyperliquid, a platform known for high-stakes leveraged futures trading. The market's next moves will determine if the trader profits or faces a quick liquidation.
