Hyperliquid's largest BTC short draws focus after whale opens $136 million at 40x leverage

Hyperliquid's largest Bitcoin short is now held by anonymous address 0x66f8, which The Data Nerd said opened a roughly $136 million 40x leveraged bearish position at an average entry of $63,851 with liquidation at $64,595, leaving less than 1.2% room if BTC rises. Another closely watched wallet, 0xff84..1d, was last reported holding a 1,411.9 BTC short worth about $89.57 million at an average entry of $63,899.4, after trimming 600 BTC following the CPI release and then reopening part of the trade. Together the two positions amount to nearly $226 million in shorts as Bitcoin trades between $63,000 support and $65,000 resistance. While Coinglass data showed Hyperliquid whale positioning slightly favored shorts, broader derivatives data pointed to stronger buying interest overall, leaving scope for a short squeeze if either position is forced to close.
