BlockBeats News, January 19th, according to HyperInsight and Coinglass monitoring, this morning's BTC experienced a short-term drop of over 3.5%. The whale address at the beginning of Hyperliquid encountered multiple large-scale liquidations. The largest liquidation was $25.83 million, which is the largest single liquidation in nearly 24 hours across the network.

The whale started last Friday (the 16th), transferring to Hyperliquid on-chain and continuously selling ETH spot, while opening a 40x leveraged BTC long position at around $95,600 and consistently adding to the position. Its BTC long position once reached 350 coins, with a scale of about $33.46 million. Despite continuing to transfer and sell ETH during today's drop to try to reduce the liquidation price, its BTC long position was still fully liquidated, resulting in a cumulative loss of about $1.1 million.

After the liquidation, the address once again transferred approximately 169 ETH spot to the platform and sold, then reopened a leveraged BTC long position at 40x. The new position size reached $38.7 million, with an average price of around $92,600 and a liquidation price set at $91,400. Currently, the whale has become the third-largest long position holder of BTC on Hyperliquid.
