According to the latest tracking data from the on-chain monitoring platform Onchain Lens, a large investor has recently been very active. This whale-level player first deposited 3 million USDC into the Hyperliquid platform, then immediately opened a series of leveraged short positions.

Specifically, he has put significant effort into ETH—holding 18,260.74 ETH, with a 25x leverage, valued at up to $60.63 million. He also allocated 1,838.06 XMR, with a 5x leverage, currently worth about $1.27 million. Overall, the total size of this short position has reached $61.9 million.

Such large-scale entry and aggressive leverage strategies have attracted considerable attention. After all, in the current market environment, betting on ETH and XMR falling with such a scale of funds raises questions about market judgment and risk tolerance.

This guy is really betting that ETH will drop, playing with 25x leverage, how strong must his heart be? If you ask me, he's betting on a collapse next. Let's wait and see. Over 60 million in shorts. If there's a reverse liquidation, it'll be hilarious. With this move by the big players, it feels like they're testing the market bottom? This aggressive approach, either making a fortune or getting wiped out crying, there's no middle ground.

Is this guy crazy? 25x leverage short on ETH, and one slip causes everything to be gone.

Damn, 25x leverage shorting, this guy is really ruthless. This whale is crazy, throwing over 60 million into ETH short... If it rebounds, he'll be liquidated immediately. 25x? Just thinking about it makes me break out in sweat. This pace... Does ETH want to fall, or is someone particularly bearish? I seriously doubt this guy is betting on some big event. They threw hundreds of millions, while we're still just talking on paper, haha. Is this the rhythm of bottom fishing... No, it's shorting... Mixed up. Watching the show, this kind of play can also lead to quick losses.

25x leverage short ETH... Is this guy trying to bet on a crash? --- 60 million short? Really bold, either making a fortune or losing everything --- Feels like this is the last frenzy before bottoming out... --- XMR is also being played? Privacy coins are also being pessimistic --- Such a scale of short positions once reversed... Uh, I dare not imagine --- Hyperliquid is also experiencing a major event again --- Entering with 3 million and opening full leverage, definitely a pro move --- All I can say is either he sees signals we can't see, or he's just a gambler --- ETH short 25x... This is extremely bearish --- The key question is, where did he get this information?

Wow, 25x leverage short on ETH? This guy really dares to do it If it weren't for the big players, I would think it's just a leverage explosion trailer... Throwing over 60 million to bet on a decline, you must be extremely bearish to play like this Really curious to see how this turns out, it's so exciting Just want to ask, is this bottom-fishing or truly bearish? Gotta say, the guts are impressive, but the risk is really intense This pace is definitely a bit crazy...

I'm really amazed by this big player, daring to play with 25x leverage. If it weren't for the mining incident, who would dare to bet on ETH plummeting? Over 60 million in shorts? They must know something. This guy's guts are huge; if he gets liquidated, I’ll die laughing. Feels like they're betting on a big dump coming soon. XMR is so deeply positioned; it seems there's something else at play. Either they're super smart or just a complete fool, no middle ground. This rhythm makes me want to go short too; something's off.
