Machi Big Brother (real name Jeff Huang), a former American artist of Taiwanese descent, is now known as a “crypto whale” with a high-risk trading style, recently recording significant profits on Hyperliquid.
Previously, Machi was famous for aggressive trading and an all-time PnL loss of up to $74 million, although he occasionally scored big wins. This time, he deposited $250,000 into the Hyperliquid platform and took a long position on the ETH-USDC pair, earning about $300,000 in profit, equivalent to a 102% ROE.
According to data displayed on Arkham’s dashboard, this trade marks a notable recovery after his portfolio had dropped below $10,000.
The crypto community quickly drew attention to the memecoin $MACHI, with many comments celebrating Machi’s comeback and speculating about a full “recovery” — reflecting the market’s particular appeal to high-risk traders and the remarkable story of revival.
