ETH Whale Liquidation: 2,500 ETH Long at $3,760.53 Costs $1.07M, Hyperliquid Down $13.33M

On-chain analytics firm Auntie Ai reports a high-profile liquidation involving Huang Licheng, widely known in crypto circles as ‘Big Brother Whale.’ The trader’s towering long exposure of 2,500.1 ETH was liquidated as the Ether price touched roughly $3,760.53, translating to an estimated $1.073 million loss. This event highlights the risk profile of oversized longs and the amplification effects of leverage on top-tier wallets during volatile ramps.

From October onward, the same operator reportedly boosted Hyperliquid‘s exposure by depositing around 1.727 million USDC. Current tallies show the Hyperliquid account carrying accumulated losses near $13.33 million, with approximately $16,771.24 remaining. The data underscores ongoing liquidity stress in select trading venues and the material influence of whale-driven flows on platform risk metrics, making vigilant risk controls essential for participants and observers.
