Solana, Fartcoin Whale Trader Up $10 Million But Down 6 Figures On XRP Short: What Gives?

A high-profile whale on Hyperliquid has made headlines for massive unrealized gains across Solana SOL/USD and Fartcoin FARTCOIN/USD, despite a steep loss on an XRP XRP/USD position.

According to data from HyperDash, the whale is currently up over $10 million in unrealized profit on long positions in HYPE, SOL and FARTCOIN.

Hyperliquid occupies the largest position with a notional $31.9 million, followed by Solana and FARTCOIN at $28.3 million and $21.5 million.

An XRP short position is the only loser, down roughly $480,000 on a notional $5.9 million position.

The trader maintains a 4.73x leveraged long portfolio, with a margin usage of 101.7%, a clear signal of high conviction. Despite the risk, the positions are riding strong momentum.

At the time of writing, Fartcoin is up 10%, SOL and HYPE up 5% and XRP is up 3.5%.
