On the Hyperliquid platform, a large ETH long position holder opened a $127 million long position as the market declined, bringing the total position to $449 million.

【ChainNews】The recent actions of the ETH long whale on the Hyperliquid platform are quite interesting. According to on-chain data monitoring, this TOP2 level address took advantage of the recent decline last night and opened a $127 million long position in one go. Now, the total position of this address has expanded to $449 million.

The downward trend last night directly triggered all their limit buy orders, purchasing a total of 9890.76 ETH and 1018.97 BTC. However, the cost was significant, with unrealized losses expanding to $3.39 million. It’s clear that this whale is betting on a rebound for Ethereum and Bitcoin later on.

Such large-scale position building usually reflects institutional or experienced traders’ optimism about the market’s future, but short-term unrealized losses also indicate ongoing market volatility. It’s worth continuing to observe this address’s next moves.
