Trader Who Bet $1B on Bitcoin, Returns With 3x Leveraged Long on Aster
James Wynn, the pseudonymous trader behind a billion-dollar bitcoin (BTC) bet earlier this year, is back. This time, Wynn is making a leveraged play on ASTER just days after being liquidated on the same token.
Wynn has opened a new 3x leveraged long on ASTER, the native token of the emerging Aster perpetuals exchange, worth over $16,000, entering at $1.97 with a liquidation level around $1.57.The move was first spotted by Onchain Lens.
While the dollar amount seems small compared to Wynn’s previous positions, the trade is likely to be a hedge on a different position on Aster itself. «I’m farming the $ASTER airdrop,” the trader wrote on X. “I believe it will be one of the biggest [in] crypto history.”
The move is Wynn’s latest high-risk bet on Hyperliquid, an onchain derivatives platform where he previously took out a $1.2 billion long on bitcoin using 40x leverage.
That position closed with a $17.5 million loss, before he flipped into a billion-dollar short. At one point, he had his entire $50 million wallet on the line.
That wild streak ended with Wynn saying he was walking away “a wynner” after netting $25 million in profit.
