According to Arkham monitoring, 'Machi Big Brother' sold one of his 150 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and used the proceeds to add margin to his Hyperliquid account. He has opened a $1.6 million ETH long position with $67,000 in margin, indicating a highly leveraged bullish bet on Ethereum. The move reflects a whale's strategic reallocation from NFT to derivatives trading.
Event Overview
Blockchain analytics platform Arkham reported that prominent investor 'Machi Big Brother' sold one of his 150 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and deposited the proceeds into his Hyperliquid account as additional margin. The account currently holds a $1.6 million long position on Ethereum (ETH) backed by only $67,000 in margin, implying an effective leverage of approximately 23.9x.
This action demonstrates a shift in capital allocation from illiquid NFT assets to leveraged trading on a decentralized perpetual exchange. Hyperliquid is known for its high-leverage trading capabilities. With ETH trading around $3,200, the position faces significant liquidation risk if price drops sharply. Investors should monitor the wallet for potential further movements.
