Crypto trader James Wynn made headlines after an extreme trading rollercoaster on Hyperliquid — turning $3 million into $100 million, only to lose it all within a single week. He later admitted that greed and public pressure pushed him into emotional, reckless trades. Despite the loss, Wynn is still active in promoting trading platforms and meme tokens.
⚠️ Key Moments Behind the Collapse:
Massive Gains: Wynn’s account skyrocketed to $100 million, with $85 million in unrealized profits at its peak.
Risky High-Leverage Moves: He placed huge leveraged positions on Bitcoin, PEPE memecoins, and other tokens, attracting the crypto community’s attention.
The Crash: A $1.25 billion long position on Bitcoin crumbled when BTC’s price fell below $105,000 due to rising geopolitical concerns, wiping out over $37 million in losses and fees.
Liquidation: His remaining positions were wiped at $16.14 million when Bitcoin dipped below his liquidation mark, with 379 BTC lost using 40x leverage on Hyperliquid.
Lesson: Even the biggest wins can vanish overnight if emotions and over-leverage take control.
