On-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence has confirmed one of the largest realized losses by a single entity in recent crypto history. The infamous wallet cluster known as the ‘Hyperunit whale,’ which accumulated massive Ethereum holdings near the market peaks of 2021 and early 2022, has completely liquidated its entire ETH position, resulting in an estimated realized loss of over $250 million.
According to Arkham’s public tracking dashboard, Hyperunit’s primary strategy involved substantial accumulation of Ether, often utilizing collateralized borrowing strategies. At its peak, the whale’s holdings were valued close to $400 million, making them one of the most closely watched entities on the Ethereum blockchain.
As ETH prices failed to retest previous highs, Hyperunit faced insurmountable margin calls and eventually chose to exit the market entirely rather than risking further forced liquidations. This final, desperate exit involved the sale of all remaining ETH across multiple linked addresses over a 48-hour period. Following the sale and subsequent transaction fee payments, the primary Hyperunit wallet address linked to the massive portfolio now holds a negligible balance of approximately $53.12, effectively zeroing out its holdings and ending its run as a major speculative market participant. The data underscores the extreme volatility and risks associated with high-leverage, concentrated crypto positions.
