Market watchers are labeling Andrew Tate as one of the worst traders in crypto after he was completely liquidated on Hyperliquid, losing over $800,000.
He joins a growing list of high-profile traders who have seen their fortunes evaporate on the platform. Tate’s repeated liquidations underscore the harsh reality of employing high leverage.
Andrew Tate’s Crypto Trading Ends in Total Liquidation on Hyperliquid
Arkham’s blockchain analysis uncovered the extent of Tate’s trading losses. The former kickboxer deposited $727,000 into Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange.
All his funds remained on the exchange, locked into losing trades until they were fully liquidated.

Tate attempted to recover by trading with referral income. He received $75,000 from users joining through his referral link. Instead of withdrawing these rewards, he used them in further trades. All $75,000 disappeared through the same cycle of liquidations.
“Andrew Tate is now fully liquidated on Hyperliquid. He has only $984 left. Some people thought he had been liquidated many times before. But he earned the money through referrals and traded that money on HL again and again,” analyst Param added.
Pattern of Failed Trades
Tate’s trading history is quite volatile. In June 2025, he lost $597,000 on Hyperliquid. Things didn’t improve afterward. Analyst StarPlatinum highlighted that in September, Tate opened a long position on the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token. However, this resulted in a loss of $67,500. He opened a new position minutes later and was hit with another loss.
His streak continued into this month. On November 14, he was liquidated again — this time while holding a BTC long at 40× leverage. The wipeout cost him $235,000.
August brought his only moment of success. A small short on YZY that earned him $16,000. Even that brief victory disappeared, wiped out by a fresh losing trade.
Overall, Tate has executed more than 80 trades with a win rate of just 35.5%. His cumulative loss stands at $699,000 in only a few months, reflecting a pattern of aggressive risk-taking and consistently poor timing.
Crypto analysts have called him “one of the worst traders in crypto” due to his losing streak.
“Based on this trading record, Andrew Tate might be one of the worst traders in crypto. And people still pay him for advice,” a market watcher wrote.
Tate isn’t the only one taking heavy losses from leveraged trading. Other well-known traders have gone through similar situations. James Wynn, for example, lost more than $23 million on Hyperliquid. His account fell from millions to only $6,010.
In July, Qwatio took a $25.8 million hit after a market rally liquidated his short positions, wiping out the gains he had made earlier. Another whale, known as 0xa523, had an even rougher time. He lost $43.4 million on Hyperliquid in one month.
The experiences of Tate, Wynn, Qwatio, and 0xa523 highlight the inherent risks associated with trading with high leverage on decentralized perpetual exchanges. While some traders have achieved significant gains on these platforms, the rapid liquidations seen in these cases demonstrate how quickly positions can move against users.
Their outcomes serve as a reminder that leverage can amplify both profits and losses, and that even well-known market participants are not immune to the volatility of crypto derivatives.
