A trader named 'Evaded' earned over $7.5 million in under four days from long positions in ZEC and HYPE tokens, benefiting from ZEC's 30% surge after the SEC ended its probe and HYPE's rally following a new ETF launch. Instead of cashing out, the trader opened a highly leveraged $38.63 million long position on Ethereum (ETH) at 25x leverage, which risks automatic liquidation if ETH's price drops about 4%. This move shows confidence but also high risk, as a market downturn could quickly wipe out gains.
