Crypto whale who predicted October crash opens $55M in BTC and ETH longs
2025-11-02 12:00:00
The well-known crypto trader known as HyperUnit, who earned around $200 million from short positions during the October market crash, has shifted strategy. According to analytics platform Arkham, the investor has opened $55 million in long positions on Bitcoin and Ethereum via the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid – $37 million in BTC and $18 million in ETH.
HyperUnit rose to fame after accurately predicting the market crash on October 10, triggered by US–China trade tensions. Since then, the trader has executed two more profitable short trades, raising community interest in his next moves. Arkham even asked whether he could “get it right for the fourth time in a row.”
Arkham reports that HyperUnit has been active in the crypto market for over seven years. In 2018, he bought Bitcoin worth $850 million during the bear market, and his holdings are now valued at around $10 billion. His record suggests deep market insight and strategic vision.
As of publication, Bitcoin trades at $106,598 and Ethereum at $3,602. BTC remains 15.5% below its all-time high, while ETH is 27.3% down. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index stands at 42 out of 100 – in the “fear” zone, showing cautious investor sentiment.
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley explained that the recent correction was largely driven by long-term “crypto veterans” who accumulated coins years ago. After achieving 100x or even 1000x gains, many of them find it emotionally difficult to watch their portfolio values drop, even temporarily. Still, most plan to continue holding their assets.
Data from CryptoQuant shows that long-term holders moved around 405,000 BTC out of wallets between early October and early November. However, analytics firm Santiment believes the worst of the downturn is over, noting that exchanges now hold 208,980 fewer BTC than six months ago – a sign of reduced selling pressure and growing investor confidence.
Moves by large players like HyperUnit could signal a shift in market sentiment. If his latest strategy proves correct, it could accelerate market recovery and mark the start of a new growth cycle.
