A 
Hyperliquid whale opened a 10x leveraged long on 
Solana following a $10.5 million loss on a single 
Ethereum long, according to BeInCrypto. The losing trade reportedly erased the gains from 10 consecutive winning trades, after which the trader turned to a long position worth $26.97 million.
The Solana exposure was established when SOL was $70.27, according to BeInCrypto, while Crypto Daily also placed the entry near $70. Both outlets describe the same shift in positioning: the trader moved from a large Ethereum long to a leveraged Solana long following the earlier loss.
The coverage largely corroborates the core transaction and its 10x leverage. BeInCrypto supplies the exact loss and Solana position values, while Crypto Daily focuses on technical reference levels, identifying roughly $70 as a floor and $42 as support. No outlet reported a conflicting trade size or leverage multiple.
The new position enters a weak weekly market for SOL. Crypto Daily’s emphasis on the $70 and $42 levels provides context for the trade, although those references do not establish the trader’s capital contribution, liquidation price or eventual outcome.
Solana is currently priced at $71.20, down 1.41% over 24 hours and 20.27% over seven days, with a $42.12 billion market capitalization. The broader crypto market capitalization is $2.26 trillion; 
Bitcoin is down 1.32% over 24 hours, and the Fear and Greed index is at 10, marking extreme fear. Hyperliquid’s total value locked stands at $1.69 billion, down 5.1% over seven days according to DeFiLlama, while HYPE trades at $66.61, up 1.40% over 24 hours but down 13.34% weekly.

The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₦2.58M (about $1,824.20), down 0.3% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
