Wynn Nets $25 Million Profit in Bitcoin Trade
Just as Bitcoin price touched an all-time high at $11,970 levels last week, James Wynn took a 40x leverage long bet on Hyperliquid, grabbing investors’ attention alike. However, BTC reversed its gains soon as US President Donald Trump threatened 50% tariff on the EU. This forced Wynn to change his stand and take a $1 billion short BTC bet on Sunday.
However, BTC price faced a minor uptick once again surging 1.2% to $110 levels soon as Donald Trump announced his decision to delay tariff imposition on the EU, to July 9. This flip-flop and volatility finally caused Wynn to square off his position with $25 million profit. Speaking on the development, Wynn wrote:
“To all the fans and haters: We had a good run gambling on perps. At peak the account was up $87,000,000 profits from like $3-$4m. Now decided to leave the casino with my $25,000,000 profit. It’s been fun, but now it’s time for me to walk away a wynner. Wynn 1-0 Haters”.
Hyperliquid Gains Popularity

As a result, it has overtaken top market players like Tron, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and others in revenue generation.
