Whale Drops $54M on Massive 20× Long Bet on Bitcoin as Price Breaks $108,000

  • A fresh crypto wallet opened a $54.5M 20x leveraged long on Bitcoin at $106,538, possibly linked to trader James Wynn.
  • Bitcoin’s push toward $108K is being fueled by US-China trade optimism and a bullish macro outlook from Wall Street.
  • Analysts expect BTC to break its previous all-time high of ~$110K within 1–2 weeks, mirroring recent breakouts in gold and equities.

Bitcoin flirted with the $108K mark on June 9, riding a wave of bullish sentiment fueled by improving US-China trade talk vibes and rising confidence across global equities. Just as that happened, a brand-new wallet—dubbed “0x1f25”—jumped in with a massive 20x leveraged long on BTC, worth $54.5 million. Yeah, bold move.

This trader went all-in fast: the wallet was created the same day, funded with $10 million in USDC, and immediately opened a 511.5 BTC position on Hyperliquid. Entry price? $106,538. Liquidation zone? Down at $88,141. So far, they’re up around $11K in unrealized gains—not life-changing yet, but a strong start considering the risk.

Some sharp-eyed analysts suspect this might be James Wynn behind the trade. Wynn’s had a wild ride lately—he got liquidated twice in early June, losing over $120 million combined. But he’s known for bouncing back quick and going in hard again, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s already chasing redemption with this latest power play.

Trade Talks Push Bitcoin Closer to Breakout

Bitcoin’s move isn’t happening in a vacuum. Over in London, the US and China are deep in trade talks, and things seem… warmer than expected. Reports suggest the US might ease up on tech export rules if China opens access to rare earth materials. Risk-on traders love this kind of chatter.

Stocks are feeling it too. JPMorgan and Citi just bumped up their year-end S&P 500 targets, and Goldman Sachs is tossing out terms like “optimistic growth.” With gold and stocks both pushing higher, Bitcoin’s latest surge fits the mood. Crypto markets have tacked on nearly $200 billion in value since those bullish calls hit the wire.

Could $110K Be Just Around the Corner?

Analyst Ted Pillows (yes, that’s his real name) thinks BTC is about to pop past its previous all-time high of ~$110K, maybe within the next week or two. He’s comparing Bitcoin’s current price action to breakouts in gold and the S&P 500. On the charts, they all bounced at the same type of resistance levels—and BTC might be next in line.

His thesis? Once Bitcoin clears that last hurdle, it could go parabolic again, echoing the rallies we saw from other major assets lately. Whether that whale gets to ride the next leg up or eats another liquidation depends on timing—but the setup looks strong either way.
