Whale exits after losing $8.09 million on Hyperliquid, HYPE long positions hit a snag

2026-01-15 11:38:09

【Blockchain Rhythm】Interestingly, on January 15th, another large on-chain liquidation occurred. Address 0xBd8, this whale has closed a 5x leveraged HYPE long position, resulting in a loss of about $7.18 million just from this one trade. Even more heartbreaking, this trader’s total loss has reached $8.09 million. After the liquidation, they withdrew all remaining funds from Hyperliquid. This move is quite typical — leveraging bets without timing them right, ultimately leaving in disappointment. For those trading contracts, such losses are indeed worth reflecting on the importance of risk management.

8.09 million just disappeared like that, still playing with 5x leverage, leverage really is a double-edged sword.

$8.09 million just gone like that, still with 5x leverage getting wiped out. Honestly, this is exactly what we often refer to as a lesson being too expensive.

Lost 8.09 million and then exited the market. This whale is really ruthless. The 5x leverage HYPE was directly crushed. How desperate must they have been?

8.09 million lost, this is the price of 5x leverage.

$8.09 million lost—that's the consequence of leverage... Truly a textbook-level cautionary tale.
