Attention has again been drawn to the popular trader James Wynn, who went from a high of almost $100 million in profits to less than $1000 in his Hyperliquid account at the moment. The trader continues to trade Bitcoin and was recently liquidated as the market recovered. Popular Bitcoin Trader Who Went From Almost $100 Million To Below $1,000 HypurrScan data shows that popular Bitcoin trader James Wynn’s account has gone from a peak of $84.21 million in May 2025 to $914.21 at the moment. The trader gained prominence for reaching a $84 million peak in just over two months after he began trading on the decentralized exchange (DEX) Hyperliquid. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Hyperliquid Price Is Exploding Again The trader stacked these profits through high-leveraged bets, including betting on Bitcoin. A major highlight of the trader’s journey was building a $1.25 billion BTC position by going long with 40x leverage on the leading crypto. This was one of the largest Bitcoin positions at the time, which drew more attention to the trader. That position was eventually liquidated, and since then, the Bitcoin trader has lost up to $100 million on his positions. Further data from HypurrScan data show that he currently has a loss of $22 million all-time PnL (Profit and Loss) on Hyperliquid. Wynn was notably a bull as his trading profits on Hyperliquid climbed to a peak of $84 million. However, since the crash in his trading profits, the trader’s sentiment toward Bitcoin has continued to flip. Towards the end of last year, he became largely bearish on BTC, rightly predicting that the leading crypto would suffer a long-term downtrend. Bitcoin has been in a downtrend since reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $126,000. Earlier this year, in February, Wynn predicted that BTC would still drop to as low as $48,000 in this bear market. More Liquidations Amid Bearish Sentiment On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that James Wynn was recently liquidated on his Bitcoin position as the crypto market recovered amid the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The trader had shorted Bitcoin just below $67,000 and got liquidated as the price hit $67,900. Lookonchain noted that the trader has been liquidated six times in just the past two weeks. Related Reading: Crypto Trader Predicts Bitcoin Price Will Hit $100,000 Again When This Happens Wynn had mainly been shorting Bitcoin while the leading crypto traded in the $67,000 range. However, the leading crypto has yet to make a new low, holding the $66,000 support, and has instead rebounded above the psychological $70,000 level since the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. HypurrScan data show that the trader has not opened a new position since the ceasefire agreement. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $72,000, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Securitize is set to issue a Currenc Group equity as a digital token on a public blockchain, with the shares expected to launch on both Ethereum and Solana. Related Reading: South Korea Imposes 5-Minute Audit Rule On Crypto Platforms The move puts Solana back in the spotlight for a use case tied to real-world assets, not just price moves. The setup is meant to combine Ethereum’s security profile with Solana’s faster and cheaper transaction speed. Price Holds In A Narrow Band Solana (SOL) was trading at $82.45 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko data. The token was unchanged over the last 24 hours, but it was still up 4.50% over the past week. Trading volume came in at $3.55 billion, down 42% in a day, while market value held at $47.30 billion. $SOL Is Back At The Same Buy Zone That Pumped It 2,194% Last Time Will Solana Hit $1000 In Alt Season? pic.twitter.com/5Nj83gVZ7W — Crypto Patel (@CryptoPatel) April 9, 2026 That muted price action sits beside a much louder forecast. Crypto analyst Crypto Patel pointed to a buy zone that Solana has returned to, saying the same area came before a 2,194% rally in the past. Based on that setup, fresh talk has emerged about whether SOL could climb to $1,000 in the next cycle. A Familiar Chart Setup The long-range question has been linked to the idea of an incoming altseason. Some traders are watching for a broader recovery in smaller coins, with Solana drawing attention due to its history of sharp rallies. The $1,000 target, however, rests on a range of assumptions, including stronger adoption and increased liquidity flowing into the market. We’ve partnered with Currenc Group (Nasdaq: CURR) to tokenize their shares on Ethereum and Solana. pic.twitter.com/LnajAodSSJ — Securitize (@Securitize) April 8, 2026 For now, the more concrete story is the network’s growing role in tokenization. The Securitize-Currenc plan places Solana inside a market that is trying to move stocks and other assets onto blockchains. The report said tokenized shares are being released on both Ethereum and Solana at the same time, which signals a push to spread that activity across more than one chain. Tokenization Becomes The Real Test That two-chain design was presented as a response to the need for platforms that can handle tokenized real-world assets at scale. Related Reading: XRP Faces No Immediate Quantum Threat As Only 0.03% Supply Seen At Risk: Analyst Tokenized stocks are being treated as a growing part of blockchain finance, with the new issuance seen as another sign that Solana is being used for more than trading activity.
