A whale on Hyperliquid has increased a Bitcoin short position to $515 million, marking the largest short in cryptocurrency history.

Whale Increases Short Position

According to CoinGlass data, a record $515 million Bitcoin short position has been opened on the Hyperliquid platform. Last week, the whale opened a $332 million short with 40x leverage.

Comeback After Losses

After facing multi-million losses on Monday, the trader made a stunning comeback with an unrealized profit of $6.43 million. Market participants are attempting to liquidate the whale's position, with the liquidation price at $85,557.

Crypto Market Awaits Fed Decision

Bitcoin has dipped below $83,000, down nearly 1% over the past 24 hours. Overall, $184 million worth of crypto has been liquidated in the past 24 hours, with shorts accounting for the majority ($94.19 million).
