Lookonchain
A newly created wallet, 0x2558, deposited 4.24M USDC into Hyperliquid and opened a 10x leveraged long on 500,000 xyz:CL contracts, a notional position worth $38.89 million, with a liquidation price of $71.50.
The trade is a directional bet on crude oil priced entirely in stablecoins, executed on a fully on-chain perpetual futures venue rather than a traditional broker or CME account. Settlement is in USDC, and the position is publicly viewable on the wallet's HypurrScan page.
The size and leverage make the liquidation price the operative number: a move in crude to $71.50 would wipe the position. That kind of single-wallet concentration on a commodity perp is a useful proxy for what leveraged, crypto-native capital is doing when it tilts away from BTC and ETH.
