According to monitoring shared by on\u2011chain and derivatives tracker\u00a0HyperInsight<\/a>, high\u2011profile trader Huang Licheng has sharply increased his Bitcoin long exposure, pushing his total BTC long position to around $14.5 million with more than 40x leverage.<\/p>\n The data indicate an average opening price near $76,357, with a liquidation price at approximately $72,904.5, implying that a drawdown of roughly 4.5%\u20135% from entry would be enough to wipe out his margin and trigger forced closure on the position.<\/p>\n HyperInsight and related feeds have consistently tracked Huang\u2019s activity on the Hyperliquid platform in recent weeks, noting that he has repeatedly used 40x BTC leverage, sometimes seeing unrealized drawdowns north of 60% on earlier attempts when volatility spiked.<\/p>\n Alongside the Bitcoin (BTC) bet, Huang is also running a large 25x leveraged Ethereum long, now worth roughly $23.3 million. Previous reports from\u00a0PANews<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Phemex<\/a>\u00a0showed Huang steadily ramping his ETH exposure over March and April, at times holding thousands of ETH in 25x longs with liquidation bands just a few percentage points below spot.<\/p>\n More recently, Phemex highlighted that he had placed sizable profit\u2011taking orders between $2,365 and $2,425 while running what it described as the largest ETH long on Hyperliquid, valued around $32.8 million at 25x leverage.<\/a><\/p>\n In mid\u2011April, Phemex estimated Huang\u2019s combined BTC and HYPE positions alone at over $56.5 million in notional value, with additional tens of millions of dollars tied up in ETH longs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A later breakdown from\u00a0PANews<\/a>\u00a0pegged his outstanding longs at roughly $79.16 million, split between about 555 BTC (around $42.76 million), 15,600 ETH (about $35.85 million), and a smaller HYPE allocation\u2014illustrating the scale at which he is willing to deploy leverage across majors and smaller caps.<\/a><\/p>\n Such concentrated, high\u2011leverage positioning matters for other traders because it creates both a potential source of forced flow\u2014if BTC or ETH touch his liquidation levels\u2014and a sentiment signal, given Huang\u2019s track record of stringing together profitable trades when momentum is with him.<\/p>\n For risk\u2011managed participants, the takeaway is straightforward: when prominent accounts are running 25x\u201340x leverage with liquidation bands just a few percent away, even relatively routine price swings can cascade into outsized liquidations, temporarily amplifying volatility on venues like Hyperliquid and beyond.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summary HyperInsight data show Huang Licheng has boosted his Bitcoin long to about $14.5 million with more than 40x leverage, opening around $76,357 and facing liquidation near $72,904.5.
