Renowned crypto trader James Wynn, fresh off a $25 million profit from Bitcoin trades, is turning heads again—this time with a high-stakes pivot into meme coin territory. Wynn has opened a 10x leveraged long position on $PEPE via the Hyperliquid platform, signaling his confidence in the coin's short-term upside and his continued appetite for high-volatility trades.

From BTC Success to a Strategic PEPE Play

Wynn rose to prominence after turning a modest BTC position into a $25 million windfall. He previously earned $26 million trading PEPE, and now he’s back in the game. Using Hyperliquid’s advanced trading suite, Wynn’s re-entry into PEPE triggered a strong reaction:

  • Price jumped 3%

  • Trading volume spiked 40%, reaching $1.5 billion

  • Market cap rose to $6 billion

$25M Bitcoin Exit Fueled by Tactical Shorting

Wynn’s recent Bitcoin move began with a 40x long at $11,970. When President Trump announced a potential 50% EU tariff—shaking up global markets—Wynn quickly reversed course, launching a $1 billion short. As the tariff decision was postponed to July 9, BTC bounced 1.2% to $110,000, giving Wynn a perfect exit window. He recapped the volatile ride on social media:

“To all the fans and haters: betting on volatility has been a wild ride. At the peak, the account showed $87 million from just $3–4 million. Now I’ve cashed out with $25 million. Time to leave the casino a winner. Wynn 1–0 haters.”

Wynn’s Influence Fuels Hyperliquid’s Rise

Beyond individual gains, Wynn’s trading activity has spotlighted Hyperliquid’s growing dominance in decentralized derivatives. Over 75 days, Wynn has executed 38 trades on the platform—with a 45% win rate and generating $2.31 million in fees. This activity has pushed Hyperliquid ahead of Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Tron in revenue growth.

The platform’s native token, $HYPE, is riding the wave:

  • +12% daily gain, hitting a new all-time high of $40

  • +50% over the past week

  • Analysts now forecast a short-term rally to the $45–$50 range, with long-term targets as high as $100, according to crypto veteran Arthur Hayes.
