On-chain data has detected some interesting trading movements. Well-known trader Huang Licheng recently adjusted his position structure, partially reducing his holdings in the ETH market, but still maintaining a quite aggressive stance—holding 9,320 ETH long positions with 25x leverage, with an average entry price around $3,220. This wave of ETH price fluctuations has brought his account unrealized gains to $1.39 million.
At the same time, he is also positioning in another direction. Data shows he used 10x leverage to go long on 325,000 HYPE tokens, with an average entry price of $25.6. However, this trade is currently at a loss, with an unrealized loss of about $95,000. Both trades employ quite aggressive high-leverage configurations, indicating that this trader's participation style in the derivatives market is indeed very fierce.
From the market landscape, such operations are quite representative. Since the beginning of this year, ETH has been the core collateral asset in the DeFi ecosystem, and its leveraged trading activity has remained high. ETH-related leverage operations in on-chain lending protocols constitute a large proportion, with many people using staking and lending cycles to amplify their investment positions. Tokens like HYPE, backed by the Web3 social ecosystem, have both scenario applications and value circulation support. However, as small- and mid-cap tokens, their liquidity and price volatility are relatively more intense, and a 10x leverage combination significantly increases risk exposure. This dual-standard, multi-leverage layout mode amplifies both risk and reward simultaneously.

theoretically speaking, if we model this as a recursive leverage problem across heterogeneous asset classes... 25x on ETH while simultaneously running 10x on HYPE is basically treating the collateral cascade like a cross-rollup state verification nightmare waiting to happen. the beauty of ZK proofs is they can't save you from liquidation cascades tho, ngl

Leverage of 25x holding 9,320 ETH, this courage is unmatched, but a floating profit of $1.39 million is indeed tempting.
A floating profit of $1.39 million, bro, this move is a bit aggressive, but the $95,000 loss on HYPE is even more interesting...
Really daring, ETH 25x, HYPE 10x, this is betting that the market won't unexpectedly move against you.
Two high-leverage assets, the risk... well, as long as the profit outweighs the loss.

This guy really dares to play, 25x leverage still not enough? Oh my goodness...

Using 25x leverage to take a floating profit of 1.39 million. This guy really dares to do it, I’ve even taken off my pants.

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, this guy really dares to do it. Holding onto a floating profit of 1.39 million? I wouldn't have the guts.

Losing 95,000 on HYPE but still holding, how big is this gambling spirit... The double leverage combo is truly a dance on the edge of a knife.
---
Huang Licheng's move here is actually a bit greedy, making money from ETH isn't enough, he has to go for small-cap coins like HYPE.
---
Honestly, looking at his holdings, I get scared. It's the kind of account that could be wiped out by a black swan event.
---
Another news cycle of 25x leverage liquidation is coming, this rhythm is so familiar.
---
DeFi lending cycle amplifying positions has indeed been the mainstream play this year, but playing like this will eventually cost you.
---
The key question is, why does a coin like HYPE get 10x leverage? Poor liquidity and still playing like this—aren't you just asking for death?
---
What is Huang Licheng gambling on? He seems a bit overconfident.
---
Two coins, two types of leverage—are they just abandoning risk control?
---
Holding a floating profit of 1.39 million and still daring to add more—when someone's mindset can't hold up, it can get really ugly.

25x ETH leverage, 1.39 million floating profit... This data model is interesting. Let's test and verify the risk exposure calculation logic. The higher the leverage ratio, the more volatile the fluctuations. The fact proves that high leverage is just a gamble on the direction.

25x leverage 9,320 ETH? This guy really isn't afraid of liquidation... 1.39 million in unrealized profit looks great, but mental resilience has to be top-notch
