On the eve of the "bloodbath" in the cryptocurrency market, a mysterious "whale" accurately shorted, making a staggering $200 million in just 30 minutes!

Just half an hour before Trump announced the tariff policy, a mysterious "whale" account established a massive short position in Bitcoin and Ethereum on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid. As soon as the policy news broke, the market crashed, and this address made nearly $200 million in profit within a day. The on-chain data and the market's dire situation jointly point to a reflection in the market: in the cryptocurrency realm, hailed as the frontier of "decentralization," power and information seem to be re-centralizing in a more covert and efficient manner. And over 1.6 million investors have become the fuel for this feast. Whales Reap Huge Profits, Market in Ruins On October 10th, Eastern Time, the cryptocurrency market plummeted significantly due to Trump's tariff threats. However, just before the news was announced, a mysterious whale accurately established a large short position on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid. The on-chain data publicly available from just Hyperliquid confirms that this "prophet" made over $190 million in profit in just one day. And this may only be the tip of the iceberg for the massive profits of the "prophets." The on-chain analysis account mlmabc commented: "This is only what is publicly available on Hyperliquid; imagine what he did on centralized exchanges (CEX) or elsewhere. I am very sure this guy played a significant role in what happened today." Behind the whales making huge profits is a market in ruins. Within 24 hours, the total leveraged positions across the network evaporated by $19.1 billion, setting a historical record, with over 1.62 million people being liquidated, losing everything. The total market capitalization of the entire cryptocurrency market evaporated by more than 10% in just one day. Perfect "Harvesting System" A precise prediction may be attributed to exceptional analytical skills. However, when this "prediction" aligns perfectly with the timing of policy announcements, ultimately leading to extreme outcomes of massive profits for one side and massive losses for the other, the underlying operational mechanisms deserve deep reflection The logic of this incident is not complicated, summarized in the words of Sleepy.txt: “Once the policy is released, the market experiences violent fluctuations. The core circle closes positions and exits, making huge profits; retail investors become the ones left holding the bag or are liquidated. The SEC turns a blind eye, Congress refuses to investigate, and the law is effectively nullified.” This structurally efficient system mainly consists of the following parts: Signal Source: Major public policies (such as tariffs) that can trigger significant market fluctuations serve as the starting gun for the game. Information Advantage Party: The "core circle" that can obtain information in advance or accurately interpret the intentions of the higher-ups can lay out their strategies with ease. Harvesting Tools: Highly leveraged financial derivatives become the ultimate weapon to amplify information advantages and maximize profits. Regulatory Vacuum: Institutions that should play a supervisory role (such as the SEC) and legislative bodies (Congress) are accused of "turning a blind eye" and "refusing to investigate," rendering the law effectively meaningless. The operation of this system is almost flawless. It does not require secret meetings or underground transactions; everything takes place in the open, yet no one can stop it. Thus, the story repeats itself. The next tariff, the next policy, will be the next harvest
