In a market where volatility is constant, James Wynn stood out with an extraordinary maneuver: a long position of $1.25 billion on bitcoin with a 40x leverage via Hyperliquid.

Within a few hours, the geopolitical shock reversed the trend, melting away $29 million in potential gains, a bold bet caught up by the reality of the markets.
