A high-profile whale on Hyperliquid has made headlines for massive unrealized gains across Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) and Fartcoin (CRYPTO: FARTCOIN), despite a steep loss on an XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) 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%.

He also announced that Fartcoin secured its first true Tier 1 listing—on Hyperliquid—and has transferred his entire $585,000 spot bag to the platform for more flexibility with direct wallet deposits.
