His account assets have shrunk significantly from a peak of about $50.39 million in September last year. Today, he added to his position again from a balance of over $50,000 yesterday, with a decline of over 99%, earning him the nickname “Liquidation King” in the community.

In the morning, he added to his position to hold 1,000 ETH. Around 7 p.m., when Bitcoin dropped below $70,000, Maqi reduced his ETH holdings by half. Currently, he is long with 25x leverage, holding 500 ETH, and also has a 10x long position of 45,000 HYPE tokens.
His current liquidation price is $2,035.19.
