HYPE Traders Rack Up $10 Million Profits

Trading activity on Hyperliquid has seen remarkable success, with 170 traders achieving profits exceeding $10 million each. Additionally, over 1,589 traders have recorded earnings surpassing $1 million, triggering further HYPE price appreciation.

Interestingly, many of those earning over $10 million have returns under 200%, suggesting that a significant portion of these traders began with substantial initial capital, leveraging their positions for high-value gains.

James Wynn was once again the most active trader on the decentralized trading platform popular for his billion-dollar Bitcoin bets. However, due to the transparency that the platform provides, Wynn lost nearly $100 million in profit to hedge bets competing against him.

However, more recently, Wynn slammed the DEX, criticising its poor referral mechanism. James Wynn shared that he earned $34,000 through Hyperliquid’s referral program but expressed dissatisfaction with the payout. He argued that the amount was disproportionately low compared to the significant number of signups and trading volume he contributed to the platform.
