What DeepSea's data shows
DeepSea's realized profit table counts only closed trades: a token bought and later sold, matched first in, first out. Paper gains on tokens still held do not count. Each row is one wallet on one chain, so the same address can appear more than once.
For wallets DeepSea tags as sharks (large, active traders), 102 rows had closed trades in the last 7 days. Of those, 25 made money, 75 lost and 2 were flat. Winners made $1,213,395 and losers lost $3,774,207, a net of minus $2,560,812. Of 14,248 closed trades, 4,808 won (33.7%).
The top of the table is one wallet. The address ending in 8771 made $966,802 on BNB Chain over 3,598 trades, winning 1,523 (42%). That is about 80% of all the winners' gains. The same address lost on other chains: $38,043 on Optimism, $5,882 on Arbitrum and $1,202 on Avalanche.

Second best was an Ethereum wallet ending in 3425: $165,866 on 52 trades, 25 winners. After that, gains drop fast: third place made $20,168.
At the bottom, the Ethereum wallet ending in 91cc lost $810,923 over 2,410 trades, winning 893 (37%). The Ethereum wallet ending in 4312 lost $508,668 even though it won 17 of 24 trades (71%): a few large losers can outweigh many small winners. The address ending in 1f17 is in the red on four chains: $423,080 on BNB Chain, $420,864 on Ethereum, $57,899 on Optimism and $20,938 on Base, about $922,780 in all.

Why it matters
This analysis uses data from DeepSea and CoinGecko. Copying big wallets is popular, but three in four lost money on what they closed this week. A table total can also hide that one wallet made most of the profit. Who controls these wallets is unknown.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the clearest lesson is how uneven the results are: one wallet made $967,000 while the group lost $2.56 million.
- Win rate alone says little. The 4312 wallet won 71% of its trades and still lost half a million dollars.
- BNB Chain was the only chain with a big gain, and almost all of it came from one wallet.
