According to TradingBeats monitoring, a large ZEC short position holder (address: 0x362a) triggered stop-losses seven times consecutively from last night to today, totaling approximately $5.196 million, with an average covering price of around $1,484.4, resulting in a realized loss of about $2.161 million. Prior to this round of position reduction, the address held 15,784.87 ZEC in short positions, valued at roughly $23.519 million. After cutting around 22.2% of its position, it still maintains a 4x full-leverage position, with an average entry price of approximately $866.9. The remaining position is currently worth about $18.241 million, with an unrealized loss of roughly $7.593 million, a loss rate of as high as -285.2%. The combined total of the seven realized losses and the unrealized loss on the remaining position reaches around $9.755 million. Calculations show the estimated liquidation price before the position reduction was approximately $1,508.9; after the reduction, it stands at $1,550.64, an increase of about $41.8. The remaining short position is only around 4.4% away from the estimated liquidation line. The address currently retains a market buy stop-loss trigger at $1,550, which is just $0.64 lower than the estimated liquidation price, a gap of roughly 0.04%. The $1,550 level is the most prominent liquidation wall for ZEC on Hyperliquid, aggregating around $20.4 million. Within the roughly $500 range above and below the current price, all other visible liquidation walls are under $5 million, less than a quarter of this level.

Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic has revamped Claude Projects, resulting in a feature nearly identical to the same-named function Cursor launched a week ago. Cursor uses a central agent as project manager, which does not write code itself—instead, it breaks down tasks, sets plans, and assigns work to multiple agents for parallel completion. Tasks run persistently in the cloud, even when users close their laptops; all agents share project context and can automatically activate local agents when needed. Claude’s new Projects follow almost the exact same design: a central agent breaks down tasks and verifies results, with multiple parallel Claude Code sessions running below. Each session independently modifies code, runs tests, and submits pull requests (PRs), shares project memory, and continues working even when the laptop is closed. Cursor launched its Projects on September 10, while Claude Projects were released on September 17. Even now, Cursor’s feature is more robust, indicating Claude only managed a rough copy in just seven days.
