Attention has again been drawn to the popular trader James Wynn, who went from 
a high of almost $100 million in profits to less than $1000 in his Hyperliquid 
account at the moment. The trader continues to trade Bitcoin and was recently 
liquidated as the market recovered. Popular Bitcoin Trader Who Went From 
Almost $100 Million To Below $1,000 HypurrScan data shows that popular Bitcoin 
trader James Wynn’s account has gone from a peak of $84.21 million in May 2025 
to $914.21 at the moment. The trader gained prominence for reaching a $84 
million peak in just over two months after he began trading on the 
decentralized exchange (DEX) Hyperliquid. Related Reading: Here’s Why The 
Hyperliquid Price Is Exploding Again The trader stacked these profits through 
high-leveraged bets, including betting on Bitcoin. A major highlight of the 
trader’s journey was building a $1.25 billion BTC position by going long with 
40x leverage on the leading crypto. This was one of the largest Bitcoin 
positions at the time, which drew more attention to the trader. That position 
was eventually liquidated, and since then, the Bitcoin trader has lost up to 
$100 million on his positions. Further data from HypurrScan data show that he 
currently has a loss of $22 million all-time PnL (Profit and Loss) on 
Hyperliquid. Wynn was notably a bull as his trading profits on Hyperliquid 
climbed to a peak of $84 million. However, since the crash in his trading 
profits, the trader’s sentiment toward Bitcoin has continued to flip. Towards 
the end of last year, he became largely bearish on BTC, rightly predicting 
that the leading crypto would suffer a long-term downtrend. Bitcoin has been 
in a downtrend since reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $126,000. Earlier this 
year, in February, Wynn predicted that BTC would still drop to as low as 
$48,000 in this bear market. More Liquidations Amid Bearish Sentiment On-chain 
analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that James Wynn was recently 
liquidated on his Bitcoin position as the crypto market recovered amid the 
U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The trader had shorted Bitcoin just below $67,000 and got 
liquidated as the price hit $67,900. Lookonchain noted that the trader has 
been liquidated six times in just the past two weeks. Related Reading: Crypto

had mainly been shorting Bitcoin while the leading crypto traded in the 
$67,000 range. However, the leading crypto has yet to make a new low, holding 
the $66,000 support, and has instead rebounded above the psychological $70,000 
level since the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. HypurrScan data show that the 
trader has not opened a new position since the ceasefire agreement. At the 
time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $72,000, up in the 
last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty
