Both parts of the claim are directly confirmed by primary sources. The Glassnode X post confirms Hyperliquid top traders show record BTC long positioning surpassing the ~$83K run, corroborated by the bitcoin.com News article. The Onchain Lens X post confirms a trader with $13.31M in leveraged longs across BTC (90, 40x), SOL (70K, 20x), and ETH (1K, 25x), corroborated by the Odaily newsflash reporting the identical $13.31M figure and breakdown.

Summary

Top traders on Hyperliquid have built sustained Bitcoin long positions to the highest level Glassnode has recorded on the decentralized derivatives platform, surpassing the previous buildup seen near Bitcoin’s run to about $83,000. The broader bullish positioning includes a trader identified by Onchain Lens as having $863,200 in historical profit and $13.31 million in open long positions on Hyperliquid, including 90 BTC worth $5.87 million at 40x leverage, 70,000 SOL worth $5.5 million at 20x, and 1,000 ETH worth $1.93 million at 25x. Analysts say the persistence of long exposure suggests dip-buying conviction, but warn that crowded leveraged longs could amplify liquidation risk if Bitcoin fails to hold around $65,000.
