A shark lost $1.64 million on 5,488 trades in 30 days, then bought $155,000 of DEBIT
DeepSea's page for a shark wallet ending in 1f17 shows losses on BNB Chain, Ethereum and Optimism. On Sunday morning it kept trading: gold tokens out, small caps in.
Key points
- DeepSea's shark wallet Hold1f17 shows 5,488 trades and $357.97 million of volume in 30 days, a 39% win rate and a loss of $1.64 million, $506,300 of it in the last 7 days.
- BNB Chain did the most damage: minus $1.18 million over 30 days. Ethereum (minus $240,476) and Optimism (minus $232,955) followed; Base was the only chain in profit.
- About an hour before 6:40 a.m. ET on November 8, DeepSea logged it buying 149,500 DEBIT for $155,000 and 126,900 CYBER for $38,000. About 20 minutes before that read it sold 200 XAUt, worth about $811,000 at CoinGecko's price.
What DeepSea's data shows
DeepSea labels the wallet Hold1f17, a shark (a large trader) listed on BNB Chain with the address ending in 1f17. Its wallet page, read at about 6:40 a.m. ET on November 8, 2026, showed 5,488 trades and $357.97 million of volume in 30 days, a 39% win rate, and realized losses of $506,300 over 7 days and $1.64 million over 30 days.
DeepSea's realized PnL table (profit or loss on closed trades, 6:31 a.m. ET) splits the 30-day loss by chain: BNB Chain minus $1,182,472 (75 closed trades, 27 winners), Ethereum minus $240,476 (90 closed, 35 winners), Optimism minus $232,955 (10 closed, 3 winners) and Base plus $12,803. Those add up to minus $1.64 million, the same as the wallet page. The table marks only part of the trades as priced (40% on BNB Chain, 13% on Ethereum over 30 days), so the figure covers the trades DeepSea could value.
The page's headline total reads $1.30 million, but its holdings table also lists UNI worth $19.06 million and AAVE worth $10.23 million on Ethereum, plus smaller MANA and SAND positions; the $1.30 million is a single OP line listed on BNB Chain. We report both as DeepSea shows them.

Sunday morning trades
The page's trade list, newest first, showed a sale of 200 XAUt (Tether's gold token) about 20 minutes before our read, with no dollar value. At CoinGecko's price of $4,054.64, that is about $811,000.
About an hour earlier it bought 149,500 DEBIT for $155,000 and 126,900 CYBER for $38,000, plus 2.16 billion SHIB for $9,600 and small amounts of WLFI, FET, AAVE and UNI. Two hours earlier it sold 500,000 BTW for $591,300 and 86 million JCT for $409,000. DeepSea's 24-hour table also shows it on Optimism, buying $52,691 and selling $137,696 in four trades.

How big the DEBIT buy was
DEBIT is the token of Teller, a lending protocol. CoinGecko priced it at $1.032 at 6:46 a.m. ET, up 14% in 24 hours but down 12.8% in a week, with a market value of $17.66 million and $9.61 million of 24-hour trading. The $155,000 buy equals about 1.6% of that day's trading. The price DeepSea logged, about $1.04 per token, matches CoinGecko. CYBER was down 6.5% on the day at $0.2869.
Why it matters
Nearly 5,500 trades in a month is about 180 a day, which points to automated trading. Volume of $357.97 million against a loss of $1.64 million means the wallet lost about 46 cents per $100 traded. DeepSea shows what the wallet did, not who runs it or why.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the pattern, hundreds of trades a day across four chains, fits a trading bot more than a person picking coins. DeepSea does not say who controls it.
- The DEBIT buy is large for a $17.7 million token, so a wallet like this can move a small market on its own.
- Selling about $811,000 of gold tokens while buying small caps is a risk-on rotation on paper. With a 39% win rate, the record says such rotations have mostly lost money this month.
