Trader nets $20M profit on NEAR longs amid $1.3M loss on shorts of major cryptos

A Hyperliquid trader who bought 5.76 million NEAR tokens at $2.35 in September now holds an unrealized profit of about $20.55 million as NEAR price surged to $5.82, driven by the launch of a Bitwise spot ETF and network growth. The trader also maintains $14.7 million in short positions on seven major cryptocurrencies, currently down about $1.33 million. Despite the shorts' losses, the NEAR position's 10x leverage and favorable market catalysts have generated a return on margin exceeding 1,500%. The trade could face risk if NEAR falls 77% to its liquidation price near $1.33, but ETF inflows and reduced token inflation support the rally.

NEAR Protocol trades at Rp102.773 on Pluang, up 9.95% as of Oct 12, 2026 17:41 WIB. Bitcoin is priced at Rp1.491.915.048, rising 0.66%, while Solana gained 1.86% to Rp1.992.511. XRP also increased 0.92% to Rp25.067, showing steady interest in these assets alongside the NEAR rally.
