- Machi Big Brother has lost nearly $74M in 6 months trading 25x leveraged ETH longs since September.
- His recent $250K USDC deposit to Hyperliquid dropped to about $8.5K after liquidation.
- Ethereum fell from $4.7K in September to around $1.9K during the period of his trades.
Crypto trader Machi Big Brother has faced another liquidation after adding fresh funds to a leveraged Ethereum position.
On-chain data shows he deposited 250,000 USDC into Hyperliquid about 16 hours before the latest loss. The account balance later fell sharply as Ethereum continued to trade lower.
$250K Deposit Followed by Rapid Drawdown
Blockchain tracking platform Arkham lists the wallet under the label “MACHI BIG BROTHER.” Records show a 250,000 USDC deposit to Hyperliquid to support an existing long position on ETH. The position used high leverage, reported at 25x.
After the deposit, the account balance declined quickly. Data shared by market observers showed the balance falling to about $75,955. Subsequent updates indicated the remaining balance dropped further to around $8,500.

Ethereum has traded near $1,900 in recent sessions. The decline added pressure to leveraged long positions. Liquidations occur when margin levels fall below exchange requirements.
Six-Month Losses Approach $74 Million
Public trading data suggests cumulative losses of nearly $74 million over six months. The losses are linked to repeated leveraged long positions on ETH. The strategy began around September when ETH traded near $4,700.

Ethereum’s price has since declined to approximately $1,900, marking a drop of more than 50% from that level. With 25x leverage, a price decline of just a few percentage points can trigger forced liquidations. Repeated re-entry into similar positions has compounded total losses over time.
Arkham labels the wallet as “MACHI BIG BROTHER,” and transaction histories remain publicly accessible. The data reflects multiple margin deposits, position increases, and liquidation events tied to ETH perpetual contracts. No direct statement has been issued by the trader regarding the strategy or the recent losses.
Market Focus on Leverage and Risk
Leverage remains widely used in crypto derivatives markets, particularly among large traders seeking amplified exposure. While potential returns increase, the risk of rapid capital loss also rises. Exchanges enforce strict liquidation rules to manage counterparty risk during sharp price movements.
The full extent of Machi Big Brother’s holdings is not publicly known. Other wallets or off-exchange assets may exist and are not reflected in the tracked account balance. Therefore, the reported $74 million loss may represent only a portion of total portfolio activity.
Ethereum continues to experience elevated volatility amid broader market uncertainty. As price fluctuations persist, leveraged traders remain exposed to swift balance changes. On-chain monitoring platforms continue to track the wallet for new deposits, position adjustments, or additional liquidation events.
Uncertainty Around Total Holdings
While losses on Hyperliquid are visible on-chain, the trader’s full portfolio remains unknown. Blockchain data only reflects assets held in identified wallets. Additional holdings could exist outside tracked addresses.
Some observers note that total net worth cannot be confirmed through public data alone. There is no verified information on other assets the trader may control. The current Hyperliquid balance stands near $8,500.
Large traders often manage funds across multiple platforms and wallets. However, only visible accounts can be assessed using blockchain analytics tools. The broader financial position of Machi Big Brother remains unclear.
