Trader "yixie" is now sitting on an unrealized loss of about $1.801 million on a leveraged long position tied to SK Hynix ADR trading on Hyperliquid, according to monitoring data cited by BlockBeats from Hyperinsight on July 13. At press time, SKHX was trading around $1,276, down more than 13% from the previous trading day. The position is a 2x isolated-margin long with a notional size of roughly $12.855 million, showing a return of -24.6%. The entry price was listed at $1,461.8, with a liquidation price near $792.8. The report said yixie had previously built a large long in Micron Technology (MU), buying a cumulative 8,949.192 units for about $7.865 million and later closing the position in full for an estimated profit of $870,000. After exiting MU, the trader shifted capital into SK Hynix. Data cited in the report shows yixie added to SKHX between July 9 and July 10 rather than the U.S. ADR contract SKHY. The timing came close to the formal listing of the SK Hynix ADR and was described in the report as a possible early wager on Monday’s opening price action. Despite the current drawdown, the trader still has a take-profit order at $1,598.8 for 5,418.676 units, worth about $8.663 million and covering about 54% of the existing position.

BlockBeats reported on July 13, citing Hyperinsight monitoring data, that SKHX on Hyperliquid was trading at about $1,276 at press time, down more than 13% from the previous trading day.

U.S. equity trader "yixie" currently holds a 2x isolated-margin long position in SKHX on Hyperliquid.

Capital rotated from MU into SK Hynix
