A Hyperliquid wallet tagged as Wintermute held $81.36 million in open positions on Oct. 20, with 85.5% in shorts, putting most of its recorded exposure on the side of falling prices.

The address held $69.59 million in short positions and $11.77 million in longs. Those figures describe the value of open trades, not the profit on them. The wallet had 132 open positions.

Ether (ETH) was its largest short at $22.61 million, using 15x leverage. A Solana (SOL) short stood at $12.65 million with 20x leverage. The wallet also carried a $4.2 million XRP short at 10x leverage and a $4.1 million S&P 500 short at 3x.

The account showed $936,400 in unrealized profit on open trades and $9.66 million in profit over the preceding 30 days. Its cumulative trading profit stood at $17.746 million. The 30-day figure is part of the cumulative total, not an additional gain.

The S&P 500 position puts a U.S. stock index alongside crypto assets in the wallet’s short positions. The snapshot covers one Hyperliquid address.
