April 8, 2026 – Bitunix has completed its April 2026 Proof of Reserves (PoR) update, with the platform’s core assets remaining overcollateralized to safeguard user assets.

April 8th — Per Hyperinsight Monitoring, the "Low-Leverage Long Crude Oil" whale sharply boosted its long WTI crude position at 1 AM today as WTI traded above $111/bbl. The position hit $20.2 million, a bet that US-Iran tensions would escalate further following the Trump-era deadline. However, the tide turned quickly: expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire materialized, sending oil prices plummeting. The whale reversed course later that day, incurring a $3.63 million loss. It landed among the top three addresses for intraday losses on the Hyperliquid platform—and held the largest intraday loss across crude oil assets. Address: 0x7f5ff9f8da891ffe5229e33b90959ae1e6d5f47e
