THE FALL OF A GIANT: HOW THE AGAINST CZ TRADER DRIFTED INTO THE DEEP END

There was a moment when the trader behind 0x9eec98d048d06d9cd75318fffa3f3960e081daab felt untouchable, the kind of on-chain legend who could fade CZ’s moves, pick tops with sniper precision, and walk around Hyperliquid with nearly $62 million in realized profit like it was a trophy.

But markets love reminding heroes that gravity still works.

Over the past few days, his empire has started to sag under the weight of two massive longs, one on $ETH , one on $XRP , together worth over $218 million. As prices slipped, the red numbers spread like cracks in an old foundation.

His #ETH long alone is now carrying a $24M+ unrealized loss, and the pair combined are nursing more than $38 million in open wounds.

The trader who once battled CZ in sentiment and came out ahead is now sitting at the top of the leaderboard he never wanted: Hyperliquid’s 24-hour and 7-day loss charts.

And that peak profit, the once-glorious $61.88M? It has now shrunk to just around $4.3M, like a ghost of a past victory fading in real time.
