0xa523 Whale Shorts 684 BTC at $112,776 — Returns to Bitcoin Short with $77M Position, Liquidation at $113,922

COINOTAG News on September 22 reports, per on-chain analyst Yu Jin, that the 0xa523-starting contract — identified as the largest loss address on Hyperliquid — has re-entered a concentrated shorting BTC position after prior trading activity.

Historical on-chain records show the address previously incurred losses of $35.84 million on a long ETH trade and $7.5 million on a BTC short, before realizing a $420,000 gain on an ASTER long. Current on-chain snapshots indicate a short of 684 BTC at an entry price of $112,776, yielding a position notional of approximately $77 million and a documented liquidation price of $113,922.

From a risk-management perspective, the concentration and proximity of the short to its stated liquidation price elevates margin and counterparty risk; market participants tracking on-chain flows and mark-price movements should note the position’s potential impact without inferring directional market outcomes.
