Original Title: "James Wynn Sequel: From Yesterday's Legend to Today's Gambling Dog?"

Original Author: Azuma, Odaily Planet Daily

Son of the Version, Crazy Whale, and Hotshot Trader James Wynn's actions once again hit the headlines today. Yesterday, we published "From '10x' War God to 1.2 Billion Contract Whale: James Wynn's Wild Gambling Journey," outlining James Wynn's background, growth experience, classic records, and more. Shortly before the article was published, James Wynn even announced on X that he would "retire on a high note," temporarily leaving the futures trading market with over $25 million in total profits. However, to everyone's surprise, just 2 hours later, James Wynn made a comeback — proving once again that you can't trust the words of a crypto trader...

Opening New Positions

At around 11:37 a.m. yesterday, just 2 hours after announcing his "profit-taking exit," James Wynn once again opened a PEPE long position on Hyperliquid, using 10x leverage, with a position size of approximately $10.10 million. Later, around 2:20 p.m., James Wynn "casually" opened a 40x BTC long position at an entry price of $109,715, with an initial position nominal value of around $68.05 million; then, around 1 a.m., James Wynn increased his BTC long position, raising the nominal value to $790 million.

Market Downturn, Emergency Stop-Loss

Although James Wynn's PEPE and BTC long positions opened yesterday were briefly profitable, as the market gradually turned downwards last night, James Wynn's positions began to show unrealized losses. Early this morning, as BTC accelerated its decline, James Wynn first urgently reduced his BTC long position to 5,782 coins (approximately $624 million) and lowered the liquidation price to $107,390. Subsequently, James Wynn closed his PEPE long position with a loss of $858,000.

Significant Profit Drawdown

Odaily Planet Daily has observed that as of this morning at 9:33 AM, which is 24 hours after James Wynn's "golden handshake" yesterday, his position on Hyperliquid has incurred a floating loss of $14.77 million in the past 24 hours, giving back over half of the total profit.

As of today at 10:15 AM, James Wynn's historical total profit on Hyperliquid has retreated to around $9.12 million, a significant decrease from the $25 million before his brief exit yesterday, with a drawdown of approximately 63.5%.

From Yesterday's Legend to Today's Gambler?

It's hard not to marvel at the swift changes in the trading market. Suppose James Wynn indeed performed a "golden handshake" yesterday. In that case, leaving at the pinnacle of fame with a huge profit would undoubtedly make him a legend in the history of cryptocurrency. However, within just 24 hours, the discussion around James Wynn swiftly shifted from admiration and envy to bystander mentality and teasing.

At the time of writing, James Wynn, a trader known for his highly frequent speeches (with a somewhat performative personality), has not commented on the latest loss, merely retweeting a comment from another user X, Jeremy, regarding "some people are sniping James Wynn" — perhaps in James Wynn's eyes, this is not just a simple trade but a true battle.

What has happened is irreversible, and perhaps it is precisely this bold, aggressive style that has made James Wynn what he is today. This is the path he has taken, but where this path will ultimately lead him, perhaps not even James Wynn himself has the answer.
