From Spotlight to Struggles: Huang's Crypto Journey

As a well-known Taiwanese artist, Huang initially gained attention for profiting from blue-chip NFTs. He became active on the Hyperliquid platform starting mid-2025, but since October of the same year, he has experienced a series of massive liquidations, reducing his total holdings from over $100 million at its peak to around $100,000 today.
