Fact Check
The evidence from multiple high-authority and highly relevant sources strongly supports the statement. Several sources directly confirm that the trader 'Maji' (also known as 'Machi Big Brother') has active long positions in both ETH and HYPE. One source explicitly states he deposited 500,000 USDT to open new leveraged long positions on both ETH (25x leverage) and HYPE (10x leverage). Another, a primary data monitoring service, shows he is actively increasing his 10x leveraged long positions in HYPE. A third source corroborates a long strategy on HYPE and trading in Ethereum, citing monitoring data.There is one significant piece of contradictory evidence from a high-authority source reporting that the trader recently closed all HYPE positions after a loss. However, this source also mentions a "later update." The most plausible interpretation is that the trader closed his previous positions due to losses (an event also alluded to in other sources discussing past liquidations) and has since re-entered the market with new long positions, as detailed by the other primary sources. This reconciles the conflict.While no single source explicitly confirms the total value exceeds $31 million, the information provided makes this figure highly plausible. The combination of a significant capital deposit (500,000 USDT), high leverage (25x on ETH, 10x on HYPE), and a history of trading at a scale large enough to sustain a $20 million loss suggests that the total value of his leveraged positions is well into the tens of millions. Therefore, the weight of the evidence points towards the statement being true.
Summary

On December 9, trader 'Maji Brother' expanded his Ethereum long holdings to 5,200 tokens valued at $16.25 million. This position, with an entry price of $3,059.55 and liquidation price of $3,064, currently shows $346,000 in unrealized gains. The update follows his December 5 leveraged Ethereum long of $37.36 million, which saw reduced profits amid declining ETH prices. Despite sporadic gains across ETH, HYPE, and ZEC positions, his account remains deeply below breakeven, reflecting persistent high-risk trading in volatile crypto markets.
