Blockchain analytics reveal that a prominent crypto whale, known by the address 0x082e, has taken a substantial $40.92 million long position in HYPE—the native token of decentralized exchange Hyperliquid—using significant leverage, according to data from

The Crypto Basic

. This investor entered a 5x leveraged trade at an average entry of $38.85, accumulating more than 1 million HYPE tokens. With HYPE currently trading around $40.20, the position is showing an unrealized gain of roughly $1.38 million. The liquidation threshold is set at $22.34, indicating a strong belief in further price appreciation. This high-stakes trade aligns with Hyperliquid Strategies' recent $1 billion equity fundraising effort, aimed at bolstering its financial reserves and increasing its HYPE token assets, as detailed in the report.

In the last 24 hours, HYPE has climbed over 10%, boosting its market value to $13.45 billion and making it the 11th-largest cryptocurrency worldwide, according to The Crypto Basic. The token's impressive performance has attracted institutional interest, including another whale (address beginning with 0x3fc) who opened a $9.05 million long position in ETH with 12x leverage, based on

Hyperliquid Strategies' equity raise, managed by Chardan Capital Markets, involves issuing up to 160 million shares as part of a larger organizational overhaul. The company is close to finalizing a merger with Sonnet BioTherapeutics and the special-purpose acquisition company Rorschach I LLC, which will result in a new entity listed on Nasdaq under a yet-to-be-announced ticker, according to the article. Leadership roles have already been assigned, with Bob Diamond from Barclays as chairman and David Schamis as CEO. The newly formed company will hold 12.6 million HYPE tokens and $305 million in cash, which is planned to be used for staking to generate long-term returns, the report states.

Technical indicators point to a continued bullish outlook for HYPE, with price action forming a falling wedge pattern on the 4-hour chart, as highlighted in a

crypto.news analysis

. Should the price break above the $41–$42 resistance zone, a surge of up to 54% toward $61.50 could follow, supported by strong Aroon signals and a 24-hour liquidation heatmap indicating heavy short positions in this area. The analysis also identifies support between $36 and $38, where notable liquidation activity could help stabilize the price if a correction occurs.

The mixed sentiment in the crypto market is further illustrated by a separate $31.84 million
