On Hyperliquid, a major trader just opened an aggressive 40x leveraged short on Bitcoin after depositing $3 million to fuel the position. This move signals significant bearish sentiment from a whale-sized account.
The same trader isn't putting all eggs in one basket either—they're running a 25x leverage short on Ethereum as well, and that position is already in the green with $1.96 million in unrealized profits. Not a bad start.
Looking at their current exposure: they're holding roughly 1,073.5 contracts worth of BTC shorts, alongside their Ethereum position. These are serious numbers that suggest either conviction in a near-term pullback or hedging against existing long exposure elsewhere.

Playing with 40x leverage on short positions? I've been through it all. This is just a remake of before 2018. So, how did it end? Liquidations and scams.

Hmm... what is this whale doing? Betting on 40x long BTC really dares to place a bet.

This whale is probably about to dump the market, 40x short Bitcoin? That's pretty intense.

40x short? This guy really dares to do it, betting so big is just an all-in move.

The big whale is starting to dump again, and this time it seems like it's really going to fall.

This whale is playing pretty aggressively, directly throwing 3 million with 40x leverage.

This whale probably intends to dump the market, playing with 40x leverage to short Bitcoin so aggressively.

Is the big whale betting on a short? This move could either make a fortune or get liquidated directly...

Wow, this whale is really bold, 40x short on Bitcoin? That's incredibly daring.
