James Wynn's $1.2 Billion Bet Against Bitcoin Turns Against Him with a $27 Million Loss
A Tale of a Wrong Bet
The famous trader James Wynn, who opened a short position on Bitcoin worth $1.2 billion, lost $27 million after Bitcoin rose above $108,000.
A Shift in Strategy
The trade came after he had previously doubled his long position. The sudden volatility seems to have thrown him off, as he did not anticipate the renewed buying momentum driven by ETF entries.
A Warning for the Market?
This loss serves as a reminder of the dangers of excessive concentration, even for large traders, in an unpredictably volatile market.
