A certain whale shorted XPL and WLFI on Hyperliquid, ultimately facing a liquidation loss of over $1.4 million. This incident serves as a warning to ordinary investors: even 'whales' with capital and experience can stumble in leveraged short operations, and ordinary investors should be even more vigilant.
Leverage may seem to amplify returns, but when the direction is wrong, losses from 2x or 3x leverage can wipe out funds, with risks far exceeding expectations. This also confirms the brutality of the cryptocurrency space—regardless of a player's strength, a single decision mistake can lead to massive losses.
If ordinary investors blindly follow the trend and participate in leveraged trading, it is akin to gambling their life savings on luck, and they are likely to be taught a lesson by the market. Therefore, one should stay away from high-leverage operations and focus on steady returns within their capabilities, avoiding the temptation of short-term market stimuli that could lead to complete financial ruin.
