- James Wynn, a high-risk leverage trader and memecoin enthusiast, recently took a $1.1 billion long position on Bitcoin via HyperLiquid, showcasing his bold trading style.
- Known for massive gains on coins like PEPE and Moonpig, Wynn continues to dominate the crypto scene with daring, high-stakes bets.
James Wynn, the self-proclaimed “memecoin maxi” and high-risk leverage trader, has cemented his place as one of the boldest whales in crypto. His recent jaw-dropping $1.1 billion long position on Bitcoin (BTC) via HyperLiquid has sparked intense chatter across trading circles and social media. But this isn’t a fluke — it’s the latest in a string of calculated, high-stakes moves that have defined Wynn’s meteoric rise in the digital asset world.
Wynn began building the billion-dollar BTC perp position just five days ago with a relatively modest $400,000 margin. Using up to 40x leverage, he grew the position as Bitcoin surged, eventually locking in an average entry price near $108K. At its peak, the trade showed an unrealized gain of $17 million before flipping to a $15.6 million paper loss amid market swings. Currently, with Bitcoin trading over $110K, Wynn’s position is back in the green — sitting on approximately $14 million in unrealized profit. His liquidation price? A relatively safe $95,805.

What sets Wynn apart isn’t just his risk appetite — it’s his track record. In just the past two months, he’s executed 32 high-leverage trades on HyperLiquid, earning millions on unconventional plays. He bagged $4.8 million on Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) and another $6.8 million on Official Trump (TRUMP), showing a knack for turning memecoins into gold.
His early recognition of PEPE when its market cap was just $600K has become something of legend in crypto circles. Now, Wynn’s latest obsession is Moonpig (MOONPIG), an $80 million market cap memecoin that’s already soaring — up 120% at press time.
James Wynn is more than a gambler — he’s a signal in the noise of meme-driven chaos. As markets hang on his every move, one thing is clear: in the world of degens, Wynn plays at a level few dare to imagine.
