An anonymous crypto trader going by the name James Wynn has stunned the trading community with jaw-dropping gains on Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange gaining traction among high-risk players.
Since mid-March, Wynn has reportedly racked up over $46 million in profits by placing ultra-leveraged bets on Bitcoin and meme tokens like PEPE, TRUMP, and even the satirical Fartcoin.
Blockchain analytics from Lookonchain show that Wynn’s trading style is anything but cautious. Using leverage as high as 40x, he’s opened multiple long positions—several of which are still active and generating massive paper gains.
His standout position? A 10x long on PEPE that alone accounts for nearly $24 million in unrealized profit. His Bitcoin position, leveraged at 40x, sits on over $5 million in gains.
The Trump-themed token and Fartcoin trades have also been hugely profitable, each bringing in more than $5 million. A smaller position in the token HYPE delivered a modest $31,000 return.
Over just 24 hours, Wynn reportedly pocketed $11.4 million—vaulting him to the top of Hyperliquid’s leaderboard and sparking a debate about the growing influence of decentralized, high-leverage trading platforms in today’s market.
