ChainCatcher news, Wintermute stated in its latest market report that despite the continued expansion of global liquidity, major central banks cutting interest rates and ending quantitative tightening, and the stock market remaining at high levels, incremental capital has not flowed into the crypto market. Instead, more funds have gone into stocks, AI, and prediction markets, with only stablecoin supply continuing to grow. The report points out that the traditional "four-year cycle" theory is no longer applicable to the current market landscape, and that the core driving force behind price trends today is macro liquidity. Wintermute believes that the current market structure remains robust, leverage risks have been fully cleared, and volatility is relatively controllable, but a true recovery of the crypto market still depends on the restart of capital inflows from ETFs and DAT (tokenized asset trading).

BlockBeats News, November 5, according to EmberCN statistics, the six major high-leverage contract whales on HyperLiquid all ended up being liquidated after achieving tens of millions of dollars in huge profits, with an average loss of over $40 million per person. Among them: James Wynn used $21.77 million in principal, with a maximum profit of $87 million. He once opened a BTC long position with a notional value of $1.23 billion on HyperLiquid. In the end, not only did he give back all his profits, but he also lost all his principal, exiting with a zero balance. The "Insider Whale" falling had a principal of $3 million and a maximum profit of $26 million. Previously skilled at betting before data/policy announcements, he eventually made consecutive wrong bets, gave back all profits, and lost his principal. Whale AguilaTrades had a principal of $37.62 million and a maximum profit of $41.7 million. Previously, every time he increased his position to $400 million, he would experience a drawdown, and eventually his account was wiped out. The "Rolling Long Whale" started with a principal of $125,000 and at one point achieved a maximum profit of $43 million, reaching a 344x return. In the end, after a market reversal, his rolling strategy backfired and he lost all his funds in a short period. "Brother Machi" Huang Licheng had a principal of $15.29 million and a maximum profit of $44.84 million. He basically only went long, and was eventually liquidated and exited after insisting on going long during a market crash.
