What DeepSea's data shows
DeepSea publishes a 30-day realized profit and loss figure for each wallet it tracks. Realized means closed trades only, priced first in, first out. LC Insight read the table at 12:37 a.m. ET on November 4, 2026. It lists 597 wallets seen in the live feed; 388 had a 30-day figure. LC Insight added up those figures by wallet type. This is a different set from the leaderboards on DeepSea's KOLs and Sharks page, which rank other wallets and show their own figures.
KOLs (crypto influencers) came out ahead: 212 wallets, +$590,354, with 98 in profit, 88 in loss and 26 at zero. Almost all of it came from Solana, where 156 KOL wallets made $577,417. KOLs on BSC lost $35,054.
Smart money (wallets with a strong past record) made +$49,730 across 47 wallets, only 18 of them in profit.
Sharks (large, active traders) lost $10.68 million across 129 wallets. Only 40 were in profit.

The biggest winners and losers
The top KOL wallet, on Solana, made $130,436 from 2,731 closed trades, 2,656 of them winners. DeepSea shows no public name for it.
The losses were bigger. The worst shark, on Ethereum, was down $1.87 million. A wallet on Avalanche shows minus $1.71 million from a single closed trade, but DeepSea's coverage figure for it is just 1%, so that number is shaky. Wallets on Optimism (minus $1.64 million), BSC (minus $1.23 million) and Monad (minus $1.12 million) followed.
A caution on these totals. Next to each wallet's figure, DeepSea's table lists a 30-day coverage percentage, which suggests how much of the wallet's trading the profit figure rests on. For 76 of the 129 shark wallets it is below 50%, and those wallets account for $4.83 million of the $10.68 million loss. Most KOL wallets score higher: only 34 of 212 are below 50%. The group totals are our own sums of DeepSea's per-wallet figures, so read the shark number as a rough guide, not a precise count.

KOLs on Hyperliquid right now
DeepSea's live feed also shows KOL trades on Hyperliquid, a perpetual futures exchange (contracts with no expiry). Between 12:30 and 12:39 a.m. ET on November 4, the KOL DeepSea names 2 freres 2 fauves opened four silver short positions worth $538,260 in total, a bet that silver falls. At 12:38 a.m. it also closed a $19,254 platinum short.
From 12:37 to 12:39 a.m., MachiBigBrother opened nine ETH long positions worth $177,968 (77.6 ETH), a bet that ether rises. CoinGecko showed ether at $2,287.39 at 12:40 a.m. ET, up 1.8% in 24 hours.
These are opening trades. The feed does not show leverage, exits or profit.
Why it matters
Many people copy KOLs or big wallets. This table is a reminder that size is not skill: the shark group trades far more money and still lost $10.68 million in a month.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the KOL gain is narrower than it looks: one wallet made 22% of it, and fewer than half of the KOL wallets (98 of 212) finished in profit.
- The shark losses are concentrated too. Five wallets account for about $7.6 million of the $10.68 million, and one of them, on Avalanche, has very low coverage.
- Low coverage cuts both ways. With 76 of 129 shark wallets under 50% coverage, the true shark result could be better or worse than minus $10.68 million.
What's next
- Whether 2 freres 2 fauves adds to or closes the silver short
- MachiBigBrother's ETH long if ether moves sharply
- Next month's KOL versus shark PnL in DeepSea's table
