James Wynn, the craziest trader of all time?
James Wynn is a crypto trader known for his aggressive, highly leveraged strategies on the Hyperliquid platform. He has repeatedly attracted attention by opening trading positions worth hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars, making him an iconic figure among traders.
An era has ended?
After experiencing consecutive losses totaling hundreds of billions, James Wynn made one final post: "IM GOING SHORT" on July 13, 2025. Shortly thereafter, he deactivated his @JamesWynnReal account. His on-chain wallet now holds only $10,176, marking a quiet end for one of the most sensational traders of the year.
