Furthermore, according to Coinbob's monitoring, despite the continuous rise in LIT price from last night to this morning, the "Meme Coin Shorting Whale" counter-trend added to its LIT short position. The current LIT holding size has reached $14.2 million, with an average price of $2.70, unrealized losses of $1.74 million, making it the largest short position in LIT on the Hyperliquid platform.
