ETH Whale Deposits $4M USDC on HyperLiquid to Fortify 20x Short, Still Holding $14M Unrealized Losses and $26M Total Loss

COINOTAG News (Sept. 13) reports that Onchain Lens monitoring flagged a whale address beginning with 0x8c5 depositing 4 million USDC into HyperLiquid. Onchain data shows the funds were added to a 20x leveraged short, an on‑chain margin adjustment recorded as an attempt to raise the position’s liquidation price for its ETH shorts.

Blockchain analytics indicate the trader still carries approximately $14 million in unrealized losses, contributing to a reported cumulative loss of around $26 million. These on‑chain movements reflect active position management and margin top‑ups rather than off‑chain disclosures; all figures are based on publicly available transaction and wallet data.
