By Chloe, ChainCatcher Since the market volatility intensified in early October, Maji's leveraged positions on Hyperliquid have been liquidated one after another, from heavy long positions at the beginning of the month to margin calls and stop-loss orders 16 days later, becoming one of the most representative high-leverage crash cases. According to on-chain data and monitored tweets, Majidage closed all his long positions in XPL, PUMP, and ASTER in the early morning of October 10th, resulting in a cumulative loss of $21.53 million. Just hours later, he reopened a 5x long position in XPL on Hyperliquid, with an initial position of 500,000 XPL, valued at approximately $375,000. He subsequently increased his position to 2.5 million XPL (valued at $1.83 million) and simultaneously opened a 3x long position in ASTER (500,000 XPL, valued at approximately $795,000). He only left one position open, PUMP, seemingly closed, yet simultaneously closed none of his positions. On the morning of October 11th, his long ETH position was forcibly liquidated, resulting in a loss of approximately $12.16 million in just two hours. His overall monthly losses increased to $29.92 million, primarily concentrated in XPL and ETH long positions. After liquidating his positions, he immediately increased his positions, opening a 25x long position on ETH (2,000 tokens, valued at $7.63 million, at an opening price of 3,825.01) and a 10x long position on HYPE (60,000 tokens, valued at $2.33 million, at an opening price of 39.735). The total value of these two positions was $9.968 million, both of which were in a floating loss. Soon after, Maji added another position, bringing his total position to $10.92 million. With a margin of approximately $740,000 and an 82% utilization rate, he still had room for leverage expansion. On October 12, he again stopped out his long position in HYPE, resulting in a $276,000 loss. The overall Hyperliquid account loss widened to $11.03 million, bringing the total monthly loss to nearly $49.59 million. At this point, Big Brother Maji still held a long position of 2,700 ETH, totaling $10.3 million, with an average opening price of $3,806. On October 15th, according to on-chain analyst Aunt Ai (@ai_9684xtpa), Majidage's account had accumulated losses of $53.62 million over the past 30 days (on September 19th, his account had a profit of $44 million). His ETH 25x long position remained open, valued at approximately $8.79 million, just $61.5 from liquidation. This resulted in a floating loss of approximately $120,000. Any further decline in market volatility could trigger another round of forced liquidation. Yesterday (the 16th), Majidage was liquidated in a series of positions, reducing his holdings by 1,590 ETH in 11 hours, resulting in a loss of $246,000 USD, leaving him with only 585 ETH ($2.33 million). His account balance dropped to $32,800 USD, and his cumulative losses went from a peak positive return of $43.64 million USD to a net loss of $13 million USD. As of this morning (17th), he sold 1.64 million PNKSTR tokens (worth US$119,000), with a loss of US$214,000 (-65%), and then transferred 47.43 ETH (about US$186,000) to Hyperliquid to expand his position. He currently still holds 1,189 ETH, with a total value of approximately US$4.67 million. According to Hyperbot on-chain data (wallet address 0x020c...5872), as of the morning of October 17, the account's total assets were approximately US$228,000, almost all of which were open Perp positions ($228,000), with no additional assets, indicating that his position size had been significantly reduced after multiple rounds of liquidations. While he still maintains a long position in ETH, his leveraged funds have been largely depleted, and his Hyperliquid high-leverage strategy has reached a temporary end. In just one week, Brother Maji's Hyperliquid leverage was almost completely wiped out. Although he re-added his ETH holdings on the morning of the 17th, attempting to buy the dip after the sharp drop, the current on-chain balance and leverage suggest limited potential for a rebound. However, judging by his social media posts, he appears to be taking the matter in stride, even sharing a line from his 2011 film "The Killer" with netizens, which perfectly reflects his recent attitude. James Wynn makes a triumphant return, but highly leveraged trades are once again liquidated. In addition, James Wynn (@JamesWynnReal), another typical representative of high-leverage operations, also saw most of his profits wiped out in the recent market volatility. Earlier this year, Wynn rapidly amassed profits exceeding $43 million through highly leveraged bets on Bitcoin and meme-based coins like PEPE. During that period, his trading style was considered a hallmark of the Hyperliquid platform. However, his good fortunes didn't last long. Starting in May, Wynn became a hot topic after being liquidated for $100 million as the BTC price plummeted to $105,000. He then pleaded with his followers on social media for donations to continue trading, and a few days later, he placed another $100 million leveraged BTC bet. Then the second $100 million leveraged position was also liquidated, and Wynn simply deactivated X and temporarily withdrew from the world of high-leverage cryptocurrency trading. Recently, on October 15th, Wynn deposited $197,000 in stablecoins into Hyperliquid, opening a series of long positions in BTC with 40x leverage, and in KPEPE and HYPE with 10x leverage, totaling approximately $4.8 million. The following day, sudden market fluctuations resulted in the liquidation of his entire position, reducing his account balance to approximately $63,000, resulting in a significant loss in the short term. He then opened a long position in KPEPE with 10x leverage, which was partially liquidated again within six hours, leaving him with approximately 39.2 million kPEPE (approximately $271,000). Wynn's trading activity on Hyperliquid has earned him the reputation of being the most volatile trader in the industry. The market is currently experiencing significant deleveraging due to flash crashes, with funding rates plummeting. Analysts say this indicates that investors are reducing aggressive long positions and that leveraged trading volume has dropped significantly. Multiple liquidations and profit-taking are common in leveraged contract trading. When a position is on the edge of extreme sensitivity, any slight market fluctuation can trigger a margin call, and the sensitivity of profit and loss is amplified by the leverage factor.By Chloe, ChainCatcher Since the market volatility intensified in early October, Maji's leveraged positions on Hyperliquid have been liquidated one after another, from heavy long positions at the beginning of the month to margin calls and stop-loss orders 16 days later, becoming one of the most representative high-leverage crash cases.

From James Wynn to Maji Da Ge, the rise and fall of the kings of leverage trading

Since the market volatility intensified in early October, Maji's leveraged positions on Hyperliquid have been liquidated one after another, from heavy long positions at the beginning of the month to margin calls and stop-loss orders 16 days later, becoming one of the most representative high-leverage crash cases.

BitMine’s $11B Ethereum Bet — Smart Move or Risky Gamble Before the Next Bull Run?

BitMine's massive $11 billion investment in Ethereum has raised eyebrows in the crypto world. As the market eagerly awaits the next bull run, this bold move has sparked debates and curiosity. Is it a clever strategy or a high-stakes risk? Explore which coins are poised for growth in this fluctuating landscape. Ethereum Poised for Growth Amid Steady Movement Source: tradingview  Ethereum's price is steady, moving between approximately $4335 and $4825. The crypto giant is showing promise, with a week's growth of over four percent. This follows a half-year surge of nearly 127 percent. Although the current pace is slower, the potential for breaking above the $5040 resistance level is strong. If it breaches this point, Ethereum could aim for the next resistance at $5530. Such a move would be a noticeable increase from today's range, suggesting this crypto could continue its climb. The market indicators point to a balanced phase, meaning Ethereum might be setting the stage for further growth. Keep an eye on those key levels! Conclusion BitMine’s move has sparked debate. If ETH rises, the valuation could be substantial. However, market trends can change quickly. Timing and strategy will be key. BitMine’s decision shows confidence in ETH, but only time will tell if it pays off. The sector awaits the next market movement with interest.
