TradingBeats, formerly Hyperinsight, said on Aug. 25 that two HYPE whales placed 509 non-reduce-only sell orders earlier in the day, with roughly 449,500 HYPE still queued to be sold. The remaining planned notional value stood at about $42.226 million, with a weighted order price of $93.94. The two batches of orders were created less than two minutes apart, though available data does not show a connection between the two addresses. One tracked wallet beginning with 0x4e23 had held a 152,800 HYPE long position yesterday and has now fully exited that trade at a profit before flipping short with 24 new sell orders. The other wallet, beginning with 0xf02d, already holds a 391,100 HYPE short worth about $31.29 million, built at an average entry of $75.92 and currently showing an unrealized loss of about $1.598 million, while also layering more short orders above the market.

BlockBeats reported on Aug. 25 that, according to TradingBeats, formerly Hyperinsight, two HYPE whales placed 509 non-reduce-only sell orders earlier today. The remaining planned sale totals about 449,500 HYPE, with a notional value of roughly $42.226 million and a weighted order price of $93.94.

The two sets of orders were created less than two minutes apart. So far, there is no data showing a link between the two addresses.

0x4e23 flips from long to short

One of the wallets, the previously tracked whale beginning with 0x4e23 and labeled the "U.S. stock big winner," had still been holding a 152,800 HYPE long position yesterday. That position has now been fully closed for profit.

Earlier today, the address placed 24 new sell orders within one minute, aiming to flip short 327,300 HYPE in the $90.385 to $104.68 range. The planned notional value is about $31.50 million, with a weighted average price of $96.25.

0xf02d adds to an existing short

Another whale address beginning with 0xf02d is already short 391,100 HYPE. The position is valued at about $31.29 million, with an average entry price of $75.92, and is currently showing an unrealized loss of about $1.598 million.

That address also laid out 485 additional short orders today in the $80.409 to $99 range. It still plans to short another 122,200 HYPE, representing about $10.726 million in notional value. The lowest order sits only about 0.5% from the current price, and some of the orders have already started to fill.
