An interesting on-chain story — yesterday, a major whale made a large transfer of 35.5 million USDC to Hyperliquid, showing full bullish confidence. Then, it continued to add to its BTC position, and by 2 a.m. today, it had accumulated 3,846 BTC, with an entry price of $92,096, and a paper asset value of $350 million. Sounds rock solid? But after a price fluctuation, this whale chose to close the position and cut losses about an hour ago, ending this bullish bet. As a result of this move, the paper loss was approximately $3.8 million. It seems that even large funds cannot escape sudden market reversals — timing often determines whether you gain or lose.

Even whales can't withstand it. 350 million USD instantly evaporated by 3.8 million... This is the power of leverage.

This whale is quite bold, going all-in on long positions with 350 million, but still couldn't escape a wave of pullback, haha.

Haha, investing 350 million still results in a loss of 3.8 million. This is the gap between us ordinary people and whales— they lose a small amount, while we lose our entire fortune.

$3.8 million just like that... How strong must that mentality be... But on the other hand, I feel like I'm the real whale.

$350 million disappeared in 3 hours and 80,000 in one hour—that's the power of leverage, brother.

A long position of 3846 BTC was cut by 3.8 million due to time lag, which is a typical logical flaw—high gas fee decisions didn't include slippage checks.
