DeFi & Yields ·
A wallet on Hyperliquid maintains a short position worth $51.7M in Anthropic ANT across two pre-market venues—TradeXYZ and Entropy—and has generated $550K in realized profit while continuing to add to the position. The trader has also collected nearly $200K in funding fees and is accruing approximately $90K daily in funding payments from holding the shorts.
The scale of the position and its profitability in a volatile pre-market environment underscores both the leverage available on Hyperliquid and the directional conviction behind the trade. Funding fee accumulation suggests sustained short interest and indicates the mechanics of perpetual markets are currently favoring the position holder.
Identity remains unconfirmed; one observer attributed the wallet to a prominent trader but acknowledged the claim lacks verification absent a profit-and-loss statement from the account holder. The precise timing of entry and the trader's intentions going forward—whether the position is being held as a hedge, a directional bet, or part of a larger strategy—remain unclear.
