Author: Arushi Garg
James Wynn, a well-known crypto trader on Hyperliquid, is famous for huge wins and big losses. He once turned $7,000 into $25 million betting on coins like PEPE and held a $1.25 billion Bitcoin long. Wynn faced nine liquidations during a market dip, cutting his portfolio to just $500–720 and reminding everyone how risky leveraged trading can be.

Wynn’s latest losses came from his aggressive trading strategy, where he deposited over $1.2 million and placed highly leveraged bets up to 10x on Bitcoin, Ethereum, PEPE, and Doge. A sudden market dip triggered nine liquidations within 48 hours, cutting his portfolio down to just $500–720.
This isn’t Wynn’s first major setback. In May 2025, he lost over $100 million on a $1.27 billion Bitcoin long at 40x leverage, followed by $25 million in losses in June, and more during August and October on ETH and BTC trades. Each time, the crypto community reacted with memes, warnings about high leverage, and heated discussions, though the market itself saw only short-term fluctuations.
Key liquidation milestones in Wynn’s high-leverage trading journey on Hyperliquid
Wynn begins trading on Hyperliquid, entering high-leverage positions that set the stage for extreme volatility, outsized gains, and heavy losses.
A 40× leveraged Bitcoin long worth $1.27B is liquidated after BTC dips below $105,000, resulting in losses exceeding $100M within a single week.
Just days later, 240 BTC—valued at roughly $25M—are force-sold as price action again moves against Wynn’s leveraged long exposure.
After depositing $1.2M, Wynn is liquidated nine times across leveraged Bitcoin and PEPE trades, withdrawing only $33K at the end of the period.
A 40× Bitcoin long and 10× positions on PEPE and HYPE are fully liquidated, wiping out $4.8M amid heightened market volatility.
Following 45 prior wipeouts, Wynn suffers 12 liquidations in just 12 hours, leaving his trading account with only $6,010 remaining.
While repeatedly longing Bitcoin, Wynn is liquidated nine times in two days, losing $56.8K and reducing his portfolio to his final $500.
Even after many liquidations, James Wynn is still positive about Bitcoin. He believes the current price drop is just shaking out weak traders. In a recent post, he said it feels like a “bottom,” meaning he expects a strong rebound soon, even if Bitcoin falls to the 200-week moving average.
Wynn says he is holding his spot positions and waiting for what he calls the “trade of a lifetime.” He believes Bitcoin is resetting market sentiment, not crashing, and warns that traders who panic and sell now may end up buying back at higher prices later.
