While large sums of money can be earned in the cryptocurrency market, unexpectedly large losses can also be encountered.
At this point, one whale made a huge profit and caught the market’s attention.
According to Lookonchain’s post, an early-stage Hyperliquid (HYPE) whale made a profit of $148.6 million by selling.
Accordingly, an early-stage whale holding 5.07 million HYPE recently sold 4.99 million HYPE at an average price of $45.82 (approximately $228.76 million), making a profit of $148.63 million.
