How risky is a 40x leveraged long position on BTC with a large account showing a floating loss of $1 million?

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】On the morning of January 19th, on-chain monitoring data showed that multiple leveraged positions within the account of a well-known crypto investor have collectively fallen into trouble. This holder once had an unrealized profit of over $1.3 million, but now, during the market decline, the overall unrealized loss has expanded to $1 million, marking a quite dramatic turn.

Specifically, the account’s position allocation is quite aggressive. The largest is ETH, with a 25x leverage long position of 10,400 ETH, currently with an unrealized loss of $260,000, with a liquidation price set at $3,102.12. Additionally, the address has heavily bet on HYPE, with a 10x leverage long position of 330,000 tokens, with an unrealized loss of $480,000, and a liquidation price of $20.39. Moreover, the 10x leveraged ZEC position, holding 5,200 coins, also did not escape unscathed, with an unrealized loss of $236,200, and a liquidation price of $125.70.

The most aggressive operation is the BTC position—40x ultra-high leverage, only long 11 BTC. Although the unrealized loss per position is relatively small ($29,300), such an extreme leverage ratio means any sharp volatility could trigger a liquidation. Judging from the aggressive leverage configuration and the extent of unrealized losses, this account is clearly betting on a major market move.

BTC-2.3%
ETH-3.73%
HYPE-4.01%
ZEC-3.3%

Haha, this guy is really playing with fire. Dare to press so heavily on 25x leverage ETH? Wake up, friend. Greed can really lead to bankruptcy.

1.3 million USD down to -1 million, this is what you call going back to the pre-liberation era overnight. Playing ETH with 25x leverage is really getting tired of life.

Playing BTC with 40x leverage? Bro, you're gambling with your life. A single correction could wipe you out. You might as well go all-in on spot.

1.3 million to a 1 million loss, the reversal speed is incredible... Playing ETH with 25x leverage is truly dancing on the edge.

Haha, this guy really pulled it off. From 1.3 million to -1 million. The contrast is incredible. Playing ETH with 25x leverage? That's crazy. No wonder he got liquidated and beaten. Using 40x leverage to go long is just gambling. Win the bet and brag, lose the bet and this is what happens.
