A Whale Makes a $400 Million Short on Bitcoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The past few days have been tumultuous in the cryptocurrency<\/a> market. While Bitcoin (BTC) has been stable above $84,000<\/strong> since last Tuesday, a crypto whale decided to take a radical short position.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hyperliquid data, this trader opened a short position on Bitcoin worth over $445 million,<\/strong> while also betting long on the memecoin MELANIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After closing the position, the whale made over $10 million<\/strong> following last night’s drop to $81,900<\/strong> per Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This position was opened with a 40x leverage<\/strong> and a liquidation price set at $86,000<\/strong>. As a result of this ambitious position, a group of crypto traders gathered to attempt to liquidate it. The trader CBB issued a call on the X network to gather numerous millionaires to try to liquidate the whale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have lost a battle but we have not lost the war.

Locked in.
