What to Know Four Hyperliquid whale wallets secured approximately $5 million in profits after HYPE surged to $97 following Stan Druckenmiller’s social media post. One major investor liquidate
Four major Hyperliquid (HYPE) investors secured approximately $5 million in profits after the token surged to $97 following Stan Druckenmiller’s post. The coordinated exits emerged as HYPE struggled to maintain its gains, with the cryptocurrency eventually retreating toward $85.
According to blockchain analytics platform Santiment, four whale wallets closed their entire HYPE long positions within 24 hours, securing substantial profits near the market peak despite growing excitement surrounding Druckenmiller’s comments.
The selling activity involved major HYPE holders, including an investor who had accumulated tokens since late May, while the cryptocurrency subsequently declined approximately 12% from levels recorded around Druckenmiller’s post.

Santiment identified one particularly active wallet that liquidated approximately 310,000 HYPE tokens through repeated sales worth $225,000 every five minutes while prices traded between $94 and $95. The investor had accumulated HYPE over several months before liquidating the entire position near elevated prices, generating approximately $2.4 million in realized profits, according to Santiment.
Other large holders followed similar selling patterns, including one investor who executed six transactions involving approximately 98,000 HYPE tokens and secured roughly $987,000 in profits within a day.

Another wallet generated nearly $1 million from transactions involving approximately 140,000 HYPE tokens, bringing the combined realized profits across all four whale wallets to approximately $5 million. These transactions coincided with growing market interest following Druckenmiller’s post, as Santiment revealed that several major holders exited their positions during HYPE’s rally toward $97.
Santiment also examined predictions from participants on Score, its market forecasting platform, following the widely circulated Hyperliquid post. Four of five participating traders rejected the view that Druckenmiller’s comments represented a bullish development for HYPE.
All four bearish participants subsequently recorded positive performance, with the strongest prediction gaining 24.7% relative to its initial call. Conversely, the only participant supporting the bullish interpretation recorded an 11% decline in performance.
Meanwhile, HYPE traded around $85 when Santiment published its findings, reflecting a decline of approximately 12% from the earlier reference level. The retreat followed substantial whale liquidations, which occurred as the token approached its recent price peak.
Santiment indicated that the prediction market had eight days remaining before resolution, leaving its final outcome undetermined. The platform also provides access to whale wallet activity, allowing participants to examine major transactions alongside market predictions.
