COINOTAG News, citing Onchain Lens, reports that the so-called “Bankruptcy Whale” James Wynn has opened a 40x leveraged Bitcoin long. The position carries a current notional of $1.82 million, with an entry price of $87,590 and a liquidation price of $86,468. This aggressive stance highlights ongoing appetite for margin-driven bets in crypto markets, while on-chain data provides real-time visibility into this sizable wager.
Over the past three days, Wynn executed three trades: two on BTC (one long, one short) generating a net $40,521 in profit. A separate long in PEPE finished in the red, costing $6,908. Net, the BTC activity outpaces the alt-token loss, illustrating the uneven risk-return profile typical of crypto trading across token exposures.
Investors should heed the risk implications of 40x leverage, especially with a liquidation line only about $1,122 below the entry. This episode underscores the importance of disciplined risk controls and prudent position sizing amid current crypto volatility and margin dynamics.
