Machi Big Brother Faces Massive $74M Loss Amid High Reliance on Leveraged $ETH Positions
Machi Big Brother’s portfolio shows a stunning $74M loss. In this respect, he has reportedly been attempting to leverage his long Ethereum ($ETH) positions. As a result, his Hyperliquid account now contains just $8,500, indicating that his portfolio is almost out of funds. The on-chain data discloses several notable transactions dealing with the wallet Machi Big Brother owns. Hence, only 6 days back, he shifted 244,951 $USDC, equaling up to $244.95K, to Hyperliquid: Bridge2, just after getting exactly the same figure from a null address.
$USDC Transaction Cycle Shows Leveraging Trading Strategy
Simultaneously, Machi Big Brother transferred 245K $USDC to LiFi: LiFi Diamond, after an exact deposit coming from another crypto wallet. Such transfers indicate a cycle of withdrawals and deposits, likely associated with the leveraged trading plans. Keeping this in view, Machi Big Brother’s downturn serves as a cautionary story for cryptocurrency traders who depend mainly on leverage. However, whether he gives up or rises up with new enthusiasm remains to be seen in the near term.
