The James Wynn Implosion
- CT Lore
At his peak in 2025, onchain data showed Wynn’s trading account reached about $87 million in profit, much of it from early memecoin plays like PEPE and leveraged BTC longs. By May 2025, Wynn lost about $100 million in a single week of leveraged BTC trades, erasing nearly all his Hyperliquid profits. He continued to get wiped out. “I flipped $3M into $100M and somehow ended up negative $13M. I lost control.” — James Wynn
