PANews reported on August 27th that, according to market sources, an address suspected of being linked to Justin Sun had long millions of dollars in $XPL on Hyperliquid, emptying all order books and causing all accounts to be liquidated. The address then proceeded to close its positions, profiting $16 million in a single minute. The price of $XPL soared to $1.80, a gain of over 200% in two minutes. According to analysis by @ai_9684xtpa, address 0xb9c...6801e went long on millions of XPL on Hyperliquid starting at 05:35 AM, completely wiping out the entire order book and squeezing out all short positions (primarily 1x hedges), generating a profit of $16 million in just one minute. The funds for this address primarily came from two sources: 4.99 million USDC transferred from address 0x5dE...c03c3 three hours ago, and 10.98 million USDT transferred from address 0xae0...97150 via DeBridge prior to today. Rumors linking it to Justin Sun stem from tracing back to the source of funds. This address previously transferred ETH to an address associated with Justin Sun five years ago, but there's no direct evidence proving it's Sun's address. The address has been accumulating long positions since August 24th, but these were small and the position size was minimal, so it didn't cause any volatility. Currently, the address still holds $8.58 million worth of 1x XPL long positions, with a floating profit of $620,000.PANews reported on August 27th that, according to market sources, an address suspected of being linked to Justin Sun had long millions of dollars in $XPL on Hyperliquid, emptying all order books and causing all accounts to be liquidated.

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

The post Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…
