- James Wynn, a trader at Hyperliquid, has boosted his Bitcoin long position using 40x leverage to roughly 11,600 BTC, valued near $1.25 billion as of May 24, 2025.

- Wynn initially started the Bitcoin position at $830 million on May 21, trimmed $400 million profit, then ramped back to $1.1 billion by May 22, amid BTC price fluctuating near $108,000.
- His liquidation price on this highly leveraged position is $105,180, which is close to current prices and means a 10% BTC drop could trigger a major liquidation event.
- Wynn’s shift reflects a pronounced move away from altcoins and meme tokens toward Bitcoin, highlighting a cautious approach and emphasizing the willingness of major crypto investors to take on risk.
