【Blockchain Rhythm】Renowned trader James Wynn has recently made another big move. This “bankrupt whale,” who lost over 100 million USD on a major perpetual contract platform half a year ago, adjusted his positions again within 90 minutes yesterday. First, he cut a long ETH position, stopping out with a floating loss of 24,400 USD. Immediately afterward, he turned bullish, using 25x leverage to buy 838.41 ETH, amounting to a position of 2.647 million USD, which has now incurred an 80,000 USD loss.

Not just that. He also went long on kPEPE with 10x leverage, with a floating profit of 56,000 USD. It seems this whale is still fighting hard, suffering heavy losses but never giving up.

This guy really isn't afraid of death, risking 25x leverage and still going all in. Staying alive is really not easy.

Still daring to go all-in with 25x leverage... This guy is really ruthless, losing 80,000 without blinking an eye.

honestly james wynn's just proving what i've been saying about leverage culture—it's pure extraction mechanics masquerading as "trading skill." 25x on eth? that's not alpha, that's just... a bankruptcy speedrun with extra steps, tbh

Oops, this guy is gambling again. Playing ETH with 25x leverage is really intense.
