Trader Turns Ethereum Crash Into $2.15M Profit with High-Stakes Bet

Ethereum's recent market turbulence saw its price drop to a multi-month low, leaving many investors in losses.
However, one trader turned this downturn into a massive profit, earning $2.15 million in just 50 minutes. Their strategy? A bold, high-risk leveraged trade that capitalized on ETH’s rebound.
This trader initially sold 947 ETH for $1.95 million in USDC before depositing the funds into Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual trading platform. Instead of holding the stablecoins, they immediately opened a 50x leveraged long position on ETH, effectively turning their stake into a $53.7 million position.
With a liquidation price set at $2,008, the trade hinged on a swift price recovery. When Ethereum rebounded shortly after, the trader exited the position with a staggering $2.15 million profit—all within less than an hour.
Such an aggressive strategy carried enormous risk. Had Ethereum’s price dropped further, the trader would have lost the entire $1.95 million investment.
