What DeepSea's data shows
DeepSea's KOLs & Sharks leaderboard ranks the wallets of crypto influencers (KOLs) by profit and loss (PnL). LC Insight opened the full 30-day view at 12:41 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026. It lists 202 accounts: 177 up and 25 down.
We added up every row, using the rounded figures DeepSea displays. Winners total about $21.8 million. Losers total about minus $19.9 million. The net for the whole board is roughly +$1.8 million.
This leaderboard is a different table from the 30-day realized PnL feed LC Insight covered on November 4, so the totals do not match.

The top of the board
First place belongs to 2 freres 2 fauves on Hyperliquid at +$10.73 million, about 49% of all gains on the board. Next come slingoor (+$2.56 million), Frank (+$509,700), throatycrab1008 (+$444,600) and zeropnl (+$378,700).
Most winners made far less. The 100th account on the board is up $12,900.
The bottom of the board
The losses are packed into a few names. Machi Big Brother is last at minus $12.42 million, with $699.94 million of volume on its DeepSea page. Above it sit mk4 (minus $3.29 million), Bharat Krymo (minus $2.94 million) and wanyekest (minus $1.11 million).
Those four add up to about $19.8 million, or 99% of all losses. The other 21 losing accounts lost $42,600 or less each.

A month is not a week
The 7-day view tells a different story. On the 7-day board, Machi Big Brother is up $179,300, and its 90-day figure is +$11.20 million. mk4 is the 7-day board's worst account at minus $2.84 million, yet up $15.72 million over 90 days.
The same wallet can look like a star or a disaster, depending on the window.
How to read a KOL board
PnL on this board is DeepSea's estimate of each account's profit or loss over the window. A KOL can have more than one wallet, and some trade mostly futures, where a few large positions decide the month.
The board shows results, not what each KOL posted. A follower who spots a name near the top sees it after the gains are made.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think "most KOLs made money" is true but misleading. With 177 winners and a net of only about $1.8 million, a few big losers canceled almost all the gains.
- Big swings come from big accounts. The largest losses and gain sit with high-volume traders, so a small follower copying them takes the same risk with less cushion.
What's next
- Whether Machi Big Brother climbs back toward zero on the 30-day board
- Whether 2 freres 2 fauves keeps half of all KOL gains
- How many of the 25 losers turn positive in the next 30 days
