1 min read
  • A crypto trader made $15.35 million trading futures.
  • It took him five days to do it.
  • He opened high-leverage short positions.

An unknown trader grew his capital from $3 million to $18.35 million in five days by trading futures on the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange. However, he has not closed the trades yet, and his unrealized profit exceeds $15 million. Lookonchain reported this.

According to analysts, the investor first deposited 3 million USDC on Hyperliquid and opened high-leverage short positions. As the market fell, he continuously increased his position sizes, reinvesting profits.

As of writing, he has the following short positions open:

  • bitcoin — a 40x leveraged trade. The entry point is $92,080, and the unrealized profit is estimated at about $5.27 million.
  • Ethereum — 15x leverage, entered at $3,181. Current unrealized profit is about $10 million.
  • HYPE — a 10x leveraged trade opened at $21.64. Unrealized profit is approximately $209,000.
  • XMR (Monero) — the position with the lowest leverage at 5x. The short was opened at $605, and unrealized profit is about $86,500.

As a reminder, we reported that two traders lost $27 million trading altcoins.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned

The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented the network’s new roadmap, which includes its short-, medium-, and long-term goals, at the Developer Conference held in Japan today. Scalability, cross-layer compatibility, privacy, and security were the prominent topics in Buterin’s speech. Buterin stated that the short-term focus will be on increasing gas limits on the Ethereum mainnet (L1). He said that tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas price restructuring, and slot optimization will be used in this context. The goal is to maintain the network’s decentralization while increasing scalability. The medium-term goal is to enable trustless asset transfers between Layer-2 (L2) networks and achieve faster transaction finality. In this context, “Stage 2 Rollup” solutions, proof-of-conduct combinations, and optimizations for reading data from L1 are on the agenda. Furthermore, network optimizations such as shortening slot times, fast finality protocols, and erasure coding are planned to improve user experience and security. Buterin emphasized that privacy is a priority for both the short and medium term. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, anonymous pools, encrypted voting, and scrambling network solutions are highlighted to protect the privacy of users’ on-chain payments, voting, DeFi transactions, and account changes. Furthermore, secure execution environments, secret query techniques, and the ability to conceal fraudulent requests and data access patterns are also targeted when reading data from the chain. Buterin’s long-term vision highlights a minimalist, secure, and simple Ethereum. This roadmap includes resistance to the risks posed by quantum computers, securing the protocol with mathematical methods (formal verification), and transitioning to ideal cryptographic solutions. Buterin stated that these strategic steps will transform Ethereum into a more scalable, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. With the strengthening of L2 networks, more users will be able to use Ethereum with less trust assumptions. The ultimate goal is for Ethereum to become a reliable foundational infrastructure for global…
