Crypto trader loses $24M as 50,000 ETH short position liquidates amid Ethereum price rally

A crypto trader known as “pension-usdt.eth” lost nearly $24 million after a 50,000 ETH short position was liquidated on Hyperliquid during a rapid Ethereum price surge. The liquidation occurred within 12 seconds through multiple orders as Ethereum’s price jumped about $43, pushing the trader’s position to close at a loss. This event wiped out roughly half of the trader’s previous short-selling profits, which had totaled around $49 million. The broader crypto market also saw a historic short squeeze, liquidating $2.74 billion in bearish positions, highlighting the risks of leveraged trading in volatile markets.
