A significant Bitcoin short position held by a cryptocurrency whale on Hyperliquid has been forcibly liquidated as the price of BTC surged.

The whale, who had one of the largest on-chain Bitcoin short positions on the exchange, lost 288 BTC worth approximately $18.55 million in two tranches over several hours.

The first tranche was for 160 BTC (worth $10.29 million) seven hours ago, followed by a second tranche of 128 BTC (worth $8.27 million) an hour later.

This event highlights the risks of leveraged trading in volatile markets and underscores the importance of transparency provided by on-chain data.
