Crypto Trader Machi (@machibigbrother) returned to trading, opening up fresh long positions with $Pump and $Hype this time, using five times the leverage.
Meanwhile, Machi maintains a large long position in Ethereum and Bitcoin, which are leveraged 25x and 40x, respectively. These larger positions already owe an unrealized loss of around $5.7 million.

I’ll bet on the meme token
Machi is taking on new positions at $Pump and $Hype at a time when meme-based tokens are gaining momentum again with retailers.
The two tokens attracted speculators who enjoyed volatility due to their liquid and sharp price movements.
Compared to the higher leverage of his position at Bitcoin and Ethereum, the moderate leverage of the position seems to have the gore attempt to diversify his risks, but also expose himself to tokens with oversized, short-term potential.
Heavy leverage is risky
Machi’s Meme Coin Plays is in the news, but his bigger bets are still in Ethereum ($eth) and Bitcoin ($btc). He has 25x and 40x leverages on Ethereum and Bitcoin, respectively.
A price shift can result in huge profits or losses in just a few hours even with minimal movement.
If there are large trades by such well-known traders, their trading will attract attention in the market as it can affect liquidity and mood.
The negative aspect of this situation is that the high level of leverage he uses is exposed to liquidation when the market defies him.
His recent investments in meme coins such as $pump and $hype have sparked new debates about meme coins, but his massive investments in $btc and $eth continue to balance with significant risk.
