🎰FN Express: Who Lost $100 Million Opening Contracts on the Blockchain?
When the market lacks a clear direction, learning to rest is a good choice. However, recently, several on-chain whale traders who have been closely watched by the market and have stirred up market fluctuations have chosen to "forge ahead when they shouldn't be."
🎲James Wynn: From $100 Million to $10,000
On July 2nd at 11 PM, James Wynn's Bitcoin long positions opened on Hyperliquid had been liquidated four times in a row, leaving only $10,060.00 in the account.
James Wynn was undoubtedly a star in the first half of the year. He started trading on Hyperliquid in March 2025. In the early stages, he preferred relatively long-term (over 3 days) positions, and he embraced both mainstream coins and Meme coins. The total value of his account exceeded $100 million at its peak.
However, after a huge loss at the end of May, James Wynn entered a "wise man mode." In the previous week, he had already retraced over $96.00 million due to the correction of Bitcoin caused by geopolitical factors and new high pressure, with an overall account loss of $14.03 million.
On June 2nd, when James Wynn was about to be liquidated again, he directly "begged" the entire network and waved the flag against the "market-making group."
Although this order was eventually profitable due to the help of kind people and the easing of market sentiment, a few days later, with the breakdown of friendship between Trump and Musk, James Wynn lost everything again overnight.
Since then, James Wynn has never recharged a large amount of money into Hyperliquid to reopen orders, but he still stubbornly called out: "If Hyperliquid readjusts the leverage back to 50x, I will deposit $75.00 million to go long. Let's do it again, this time I'm ready." "If a black swan event occurs, I will invest all funds to deploy."
🎲"Insider Bro": A Moment's Mistake is a Lifelong Regret
"Insider Bro" @qwatio also had a successful track record in on-chain contract trading in the first half of the year. He is good at "extreme all-in," usually selecting the highest leverage when opening a position, and the liquidation price is very close to the market price, with a keen insight into the market.
His classic "battles" include: around the Federal Reserve interest rate decision on March 20th, 2025, he first shorted BTC when the price was $84,566.00, and closed the position for profit after the price fell to $82,000.00, and then went long at $82,200.00, and closed the position when the price rebounded to $85,000.00. His operation of going both long and short earned him the nickname "Insider Bro." Since then, his accurate judgment of buying spot Ethereum at the bottom and shorting the results of Sino-US trade negotiations have also yielded fruitful results.
However, in the second half of June, "Insider Bro's" shorting operations suffered a defeat. On the evening of June 25th, his Bitcoin short positions of $122.00 million and Ethereum short positions of $68.30 million were partially forcibly liquidated, with a floating loss of $8.32 million at the time. During the period, after being liquidated and forced to reduce positions many times, he took advantage of the slight correction of BTC and ETH in the afternoon of July 1st to increase his short positions again, and even re-added short positions worth $50.00 million in the evening, bringing the overall short position to $250.00 million.
The market did not favor this wishful thinker. On the evening of July 2nd at 11 PM, as Bitcoin rebounded, "Insider Bro" was liquidated again for $50.00 million.
🎲AguilaTrades: The Poor Big Shot Whose Account Was Bombed by Iran and Israel
AguilaTrades stated in his X profile that he is a senior swing trader who started trading in 2013. He used to trade contracts on Bybit and successfully bet on the rise in the 2024 US election, earning $50.00 million and becoming famous in one battle.
In January 2025, AguilaTrades posted a record chart showing a profit of nearly $100.00 million in the past six months, which shows the sharpness of his operations.
But even such an OG is powerless in the face of market fluctuations caused by geopolitics.
In the back-and-forth of the Iran-Israel war, a total of $35.00 million was lost. It can be seen that even a big shot who has made a profit of over $100 million is still unable to remain calm when facing losses, just like a small leek.
