Massive 50x Leverage Trade Nets Whale $1.6M Amid Trump’s Crypto Move
A crypto trader made over $1.6 million by leveraging 50x long positions on BTC and ETH just before Trump announced a U.S. crypto reserve on March 2, 2025.
The news sent BTC surging to $95,000 and boosted other assets by up to 75%. Reports indicate the trader deposited USDC into Hyperliquid, securing entry prices of $85,908 for BTC and $2,197 for ETH, with a total notional value of $300 million. While high leverage amplified profits, it also exposed the position to liquidation risks.
Analysts suggest the whale either anticipated the policy shift or reacted swiftly to market movements.
