Whale Tracking: SK Hynix whale gives back nearly 90% of unrealized profits, closes out $9 million short position and exits the market.

2026.07.15 14:56:43

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, the whale with an address starting with 0x4c7, which established short positions during the "fateful week" of South Korean semiconductor stocks, has now fully liquidated all short positions on SK Hynix (SKHX). The average entry price of the position was approximately $1,453. The closing trade amounted to around $9.0325 million, with an average closing price of roughly $1,424.47. The whale earned about $230,000 from this round of liquidation; adding earlier partial take-profits, its net profit totals approximately $560,000. On the midday of July 14, when SKHX dipped to a low of $1,146.40, the unrealized profit of the position once reached around $1.991 million. Following that, Hynix staged a strong rebound, causing the unrealized profit to shrink rapidly, leading the whale to finally exit its position near the break-even line. Separately, Whale Discovery reported that one major address shorted South Korean semiconductor stocks during that "fateful week", with combined short positions on Samsung and Hynix reaching $14.8 million.

Prediction market platform Novig files a lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin, arguing that sports contracts should fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC.

Sports event prediction market platform Novig has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, with state Attorney General Josh Kaul named as the defendant. Back in April, Wisconsin sued platforms including Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood, Crypto.com and Coinbase, accusing their sports event contracts of violating state bans and constituting a "public nuisance". Anticipating it would soon be sued as well, Novig opted to take preemptive action. Legally, Novig asserts that its sports contracts qualify as swaps under the Commodity Exchange Act and should fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC.
