Meet James Wynn, theHyperliquid wizard who’s basically throwing his mortgage on Bitcoin like it’s a dartboard. After expertly cashing in $25.2 million on Pepe (because why not?), he’s now all in—leaving his chips at a staggering $1.25 billion on a 40x leverage long. Yep, you read that right. Hope he doesn’t sleepwalk through this one.
On May 24, Lookonchain spilled the tea that Wynn dove headfirst into an 11,588 BTC swim at an average buy-in of $108,243, with his bedtime margin at $105,180—because who doesn’t love a little thrill before bedtime? Still, the man’s got a plan… or does he?
Hours earlier, Wynn had just waved goodbye to Ether and Sui, taking a $5.3 million bath—basically, a financial bubble bath. Instead of crying into his Bitcoin pillow, he doubled down, stacking up more Bitcoin—11,070 BTC, to be exact—like he’s trying to build a digital Jenga tower that might just topple.
His Bitcoin saga started with a cool $830 million on May 21, then whimsically pruned $400 million in profits—because why not? Two days later, he was riding high, with his massive position rising to $1.1 billion as BTC drifted past $110,000, enjoying an on-paper $39 million gain. But wait, it’s not all roses—he sold 540 BTC for $60 million, pocketing a modest $1.5 million profit. Truly, a master of the game.
Wynn Gets Walloped post-Trump Tariff Panic
Things took a nosedive when Donald Trump decided to play tariff roulette on May 23, slapping a 50% import tax on Europe. Markets freaked out—Bitcoin dropped below $107,000, wiping out gains faster than your last diet attempt. Ether slipped to $2,504, and meme coins? They weren’t even invited to the pity party.
HypurrScan reports Wynn lost over $29 million in a day, proving that even the biggest whales get splashed with the waves. But hey, he’s still sitting on a shiny $57 million profit overall, so no need for a career change just yet.
Big Risks, Big Rewards—or Just Big Risks?
Wynn calls himself a “high-risk leverage trader” and a “memecoin maxi,” which is just fancy talk for “I gamble with my blood type.” He’s especially proud of calling Pepe (PEPE) a buy at a micro-market cap of $600,000—because who doesn’t love a good underdog?
Two months ago, he threw in $4.65 million USDC on Hyperliquid, that fancy DEX platform on their shiny layer 1 blockchain, offering everything from spot trading to… well, risking it all. With Bitcoin flirting around $109,000, Wynn’s exposure is like walking a tightrope over a pit of hungry crocodiles—thrilling until it’s not.
So, buckle up, folks. Whether Wynn perfects the art of digital high-wire act or just ends up swimming with the crypto sharks—only time, and a lot of paper profits, will tell.
