This investment has already yielded a 5.79% profit, translating to $1.23 million, aligning with Hyperliquid’s surge to a staggering $29 billion in 24-hour trading volume, as noted by CryptoNinjas. The platform, now ranked sixth among chains by market volume, underscores its rising prominence in the crypto ecosystem.
In a surprising twist, the whale also allocated $2.21 million to purchase 2.16 million $FARTCOIN tokens at $1.02 each, a memecoin currently trading at $1.05 with a #77 ranking on CoinMarketCap. Despite a 6.81% drop in the last 24 hours, this move reflects a high-risk diversification strategy, blending serious infrastructure plays like $HYPE with speculative memecoin exposure. Data from HypurrScan confirms the whale’s $HYPE purchases, showing a total spot position of $25,046,283.90, highlighting substantial capital deployment.
This whale activity comes amid Hyperliquid’s milestone of hitting new all-time highs, with $7.7 million in 24-hour fees reported. Historical patterns suggest that whale transactions can trigger short-term price spikes, as seen during Bitcoin’s 2017 rally. However, the inclusion of $FARTCOIN raises questions about the whale’s long-term strategy, blending institutional conviction in Hyperliquid’s 100k TPS architecture with degenerate hedging. As the market watches closely, this move could signal further volatility or a bullish trend for both assets.
