On-chain data from Coinglass reveals a major liquidation event on Hyperliquid: a whale's long position in BTC/USD was forcibly closed, resulting in a loss of $11.3 million in a single order. This substantial liquidation highlights the volatility and risks inherent in leveraged crypto trading, particularly when large positions move against market direction.

11,300,000 just disappeared like that. Leverage is really playing with fire.

$11.3m vaporized in one trade... that's what happens when leverage becomes a weapon you can't control. hyperliquid's liquidation engine working as designed, but ngl the slashing of that whale's capital feels like watching network instability play out in real time

$11.3m gone in a single order... technically speaking, that's what happens when you don't actually understand your liquidation price. interesting edge case though - makes you wonder if hyperliquid's risk parameters need further review

11.3 million USD liquidation in a single order, how much did this guy have to buy the dip... This is the price of leverage, right?
