What DeepSea's data shows
DeepSea's Smart Money leaderboard ranks wallets with a strong trading record by profit and loss (PnL). On the 7-day view, all chains, read at 12:37 a.m. ET on November 6, the top 10 made $255.77 million on $916.87 million of total assets, about 28%. When LC Insight read the same view at 6:36 a.m. ET on November 5, the top 10 stood at $98.42 million.
Every one of the ten is tagged Hyperliquid perp trader. Perps (perpetual futures) are bets on a price with no expiry date, often with borrowed money, and they can profit from a fall through a short position. Hyperliquid wallets now fill 63 of the 100 rows shown, up from 52.
The top two, SMc060 (+$59.67 million on $221.14 million) and SM6e36 (+$53.98 million on $197.70 million), account for 44% of the top 10's profit.

What an explorer shows
The leaderboard shows short labels, not full addresses. DeepSea's live feed tags a Hyperliquid wallet ending in c060 as smart money; at 12:30 a.m. ET it closed about $10,011 of an ether short. Etherscan's multichain view puts that wallet at about $234.3 million: $214.3 million on HyperCore, Hyperliquid's trading layer, and $20.0 million on Arbitrum. A wallet ending in 6e36 shows about $209.6 million on Etherscan, $189.6 million of it on HyperCore. Both sizes are close to SMc060 ($221.14 million) and SM6e36 ($197.70 million) on DeepSea, but DeepSea does not publish the full addresses behind its labels, so matching the last four characters does not prove they are the same wallets. LC Insight does not publish the full addresses of these private wallets.
The market behind it
CoinGecko put bitcoin at about $80,200 at 6 a.m. ET on November 5 and $75,552 at 12:46 a.m. ET on November 6, down 6.0% in 24 hours. Ether was $2,220.72, down 8.3%. DeepSea shows the profit, not which bets made it, so we cannot say how much came from shorts.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the jump shows how fast very large perp accounts can grow when prices move hard. DeepSea does not show their leverage, so we cannot say how much was skill and how much was size.
- A 7-day board only lists winners. Wallets that lost money in the drop do not appear, so it is not a picture of the whole market.
- The same leverage works both ways. A sharp rebound could shrink these numbers as fast as they grew.
