Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Abraxas Capital-linked accounts held roughly $452 million in Hyperliquid open positions as of May 8, almost entirely shorts, with about $30.77 million in unrealized profit, according to Onchain Lens monitoring. The largest leg was a $159 million bitcoin (BTC) short, followed by $77.6 million against Hyperliquid's HYPE token, $75.27 million against ether (ETH) and $63.51 million against Zcash (ZEC). The concentration matters because a single desk's directional bets on a decentralized perpetuals venue can amplify moves if positions are unwound. Traders will watch whether the book stays net short and whether unrealized gains are realized through further selling or position closures.
