Trader with 226,100 xyz:SILVER tokens shorted with 20x leverage, floating loss of $2,026,000

2026-01-23 04:34:09

【Blockchain Rhythm】There’s an interesting trading trend. On January 23rd, a trader (0x61cee) made a significant move on the xyz:SILVER contract, which is pegged to the silver price—using 20x leverage to heavily short 226,100 coins, with an average price stuck at $89.72. The current situation is a bit awkward, with unrealized losses soaring to $2,026,000, and the liquidation line waiting at $112.79. Such high-leverage operations, once the direction bets go wrong, have limited room for decline before liquidation occurs. Whether this position can survive depends on how the silver price moves next.

Using 20x leverage to short and still being so aggressive, this guy is really gambling with his life. He's already lost 2.02 million in unrealized losses and hasn't run yet. I can't help but sweat for him.

Shorting with 20x leverage and still losing 2.02 million? This guy's really bold. I just want to know how many days he can hold on before liquidation.

Using 20x leverage to short silver, this guy is really bold. He's currently holding a floating loss of over 2 million and still holding on. I have to kneel to him.

Playing with 20x leverage like this, really shows a gambler's mentality. Still holding on despite a floating loss of 2.02 million...

Using 20x leverage to short and still have an unrealized loss of over 2 million, this guy really dares to do that. I would have peed my pants already if it were me.

Remember, when losing money, it's most important to stay sober. What does this guy's story tell us? 20x leverage, really trading with life on the line. A bear market tests your mindset. This wave of decline is actually building momentum for the next rally. Believe that dawn will eventually arrive. Having gone through so many cycles, I actually think that people who get liquidated tend to live a few years less than those who hold their coins. Forget it, maintaining a steady mindset and rebuilding confidence is more important than anything else.
