A Hyperliquid trader known as a "perma-bear" holds an 81% short position with a $2.7 million all-time profit, primarily from a $13.57 million short on the HYPE token, which is up $539,000. The trader also profits from shorts on Ethereum and Bitcoin. HYPE's price has dropped about 25% from its June 2 peak, fueling bearish bets. This activity highlights growing institutional interest and volatility in Hyperliquid's perpetual futures market, with large players on both bullish and bearish sides. The next price move of HYPE will be critical in determining if the bear continues to profit or faces a squeeze.
