In the fast-paced world of crypto, keeping an eye on what the big players—often called "whales"—are doing can give you a real edge. Recently, a tweet from Onchain Lens caught everyone's attention, highlighting some serious bullish moves on Bitcoin via the Hyperliquid platform. If you're new to this, Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on its own high-speed blockchain, specializing in perpetual futures trading. That's basically contracts that let you bet on price movements without an expiration date, and it's become a hot spot for trading not just majors like BTC but also wild meme tokens.

The thread starts with an update on a whale known as "0x222." This investor, through a linked wallet, deposited $2 million in USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) and cranked up a long position on BTC with a whopping 40x leverage. For the uninitiated, a "long position" means they're betting the price will go up, and leverage amplifies your gains (or losses) by borrowing funds—in this case, 40 times the initial amount. That position is now valued at over $46 million. Here's a screenshot from Hypurrscan showing the details:

But that's not all. The tweet also mentions another whale pumping $4.12 million in USDC to beef up their existing 5x leveraged BTC long, bringing it to $20.56 million. Check out this view:

This activity builds on an earlier post quoted in the thread, where the same "0x222" whale initially deposited $2 million and opened positions, including holdings in SOL (Solana) as well. You can see the main wallet's setup here:

And the transaction details for that deposit:

Why does this matter for meme token enthusiasts? Hyperliquid isn't just about blue-chip cryptos like Bitcoin; it's gained massive traction for its perpetual contracts on meme coins. Projects like PIP, JEFF, and even celebrity-linked tokens have launched there, often seeing explosive trading volumes. When whales show strong confidence in BTC—the king of crypto—it often trickles down to altcoins and memes, sparking rallies or increased volatility. Think of it as a sentiment indicator: if big money is betting on BTC to moon, meme tokens could ride the wave.
