whale2026-08-13 06:10:41Whale Pushes $4M 20x Short Into JP225, Holding 43% of Open InterestOn-chain data from TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight) shows that nearly 43% of JP225's roughly $9.306 million in open interest now sits with a single short seller behind an address starting with 0xf87. The whale is running a 20x isolated short of 58.49 contracts, worth about $4 million at an average entry of 67,557.3 points, and it is the only position in the account. In the past 24 hours, the address added 35.77 contracts through 481 fills, or roughly $2.424 million in new shorts, expanding the position by about 157%. Total JP225 open interest jumped from around $2.77 million to $9.306 million during the same window, up roughly 236%, with the whale accounting for a major part of that growth. JP225's mark price now sits about 0.11% below the oracle price, and the hourly funding rate has dropped to -0.0129%. At current size, the trader pays around $516 per hour, or about $12,400 daily, equivalent to more than 9% of its $138,100 margin. JP225 would need to fall at least 0.31% a day just to cover that funding bill. The index trades at 68,393, with the position down about $48,900, or -24.7%. Liquidation is at 69,028, a mere 0.93% away.1470
