Summary
Coinbob data from November 26 indicates that major whales on Hyperliquid have scaled back short positions as market sentiment improved. One whale holds ETH longs valued at $44.35 million, while BTC shorts carry $26.24 million in unrealized profit and ZEC shorts face $7.33 million in unrealized loss. This comes after earlier reports of the same trader moving $10 million to Hyperliquid for high-value ETH longs, maintaining large XRP exposures and incurring significant unrealized losses, underscoring the volatility and risk inherent in leveraged crypto derivatives trading.
