After Bitcoin, Crypto Trader James Wynn Sets Sight on PEPE With 10x Leverage Long

Crypto trader James Wynn, who recently gained popularity for opening a 40x leverage long position in Bitcoin, has now opened a 10x leverage long position for PEPE Coin. This comes soon after Wynn squared off all his positions as BTC turns volatile in the range between $108K-$112K. After taking massive bets on the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid, Wynn finally walks away with $25 million in profits on his Bitcoin bets, and has already minted another $200K on the meme coin bet.

Crypto Trader James Wynn Goes 10x Leverage Long on PEPE

Renowned crypto trader James Wynn has placed another bold bet on meme coin PEPE, opening a long position with 10x leverage on the Hyperliquid platform. Previously, Wynn tasted massive success on his meme coin bet, netting $26 million from a long-PEPE trade. Soon after, the PEPE price shot up over 3%, with its market cap reaching $6 billion, and daily trading volume skyrocketed 40% to $1.5 billion.

Wynn Nets $25 Million Profit in Bitcoin Trade

Just as Bitcoin price touched an all-time high at $11,970 levels last week, James Wynn took a 40x leverage long bet on Hyperliquid, grabbing investors’ attention alike. However, BTC reversed its gains soon as US President Donald Trump threatened 50% tariff on the EU. This forced Wynn to change his stand and take a $1 billion short BTC bet on Sunday.

However, BTC price faced a minor uptick once again surging 1.2% to $110 levels soon as Donald Trump announced his decision to delay tariff imposition on the EU, to July 9. This flip-flop and volatility finally caused Wynn to square off his position with $25 million profit. Speaking on the development, Wynn wrote:

“To all the fans and haters: We had a good run gambling on perps. At peak the account was up $87,000,000 profits from like $3-$4m. Now decided to leave the casino with my $25,000,000 profit. It’s been fun, but now it’s time for me to walk away a wynner. Wynn 1-0 Haters”.

Hyperliquid Gains Popularity

In an impressive display of trading activity, James Wynn executed 38 trades over the past 75 days. Of these, 17 were profitable, resulting in a 45% win rate. The trader’s high-volume activity contributed approximately $2.31 million in fees to the Hyperliquid platform. As a result, it has overtaken top market players like Tron, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and others in revenue generation.
