Community speculation suggests that the whale who opened a massive short position on Hyperliquid three days in advance, profiting $200 million, is likely Bitforex co-founder Garrett Jin. This is because the whale's address has been previously linked to Garrett Jin. Last month, an address that directly received ETH gas from the whale sent him 40,000 USDT. Garrett Jin is also the largest holder of a bet on Polymarket's "Will Trump pardon CZ in 2025?" Trump's tariff war signals reportedly caused a sharp short-term setback in the crypto market today. However, this Bitcoin OG whale opened a massive short position three days in advance, depositing 3,000 BTC into Hyperliquid on October 7th and going short. He then continued to increase his short position through October 10th, with his BTC short position valued at $752 million and his ETH short position valued at $353 million. Ultimately, the whale's single-day profit on Hyperliquid was approximately $190 million to $200 million.
