Key points

  • CYBER rose from about $0.252 on Thursday morning to $0.385 at 10 a.m. ET on Friday, up about 53%, then fell to $0.307 by 6:42 a.m. ET Saturday, CoinGecko data shows.
  • Its 24-hour trading volume hit $154.2 million at 1 p.m. ET on Friday, against about $5 million a day earlier in the week. The token's market value is $18.7 million.
  • DeepSea's shark wallets bought $668,241 of CYBER on Optimism in 24 hours and sold $277,301, across 5 wallets and 102 trades.

What DeepSea's data shows

DeepSea's live feed adds up what tracked shark wallets (large, active traders) bought and sold. In the 24-hour table made at 6:35 a.m. ET on November 7, CYBER on Optimism is the third largest net buy: $668,241 bought and $277,301 sold, a net $390,940, by 5 wallets in 102 trades.

Buying slowed in the last hour: $3,651 bought and $1,521 sold, by 2 wallets in 3 trades. DeepSea's data shows how much the wallets traded, not why, and none of the five carries a label beyond shark.

A fast round trip

CoinGecko lists the token as Cyber (CYBER), with the same contract address on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Optimism and Cyber's own network. It traded near $0.252 at 7 a.m. ET on Thursday, November 5. By 10 a.m. ET on Friday it reached $0.385, a gain of about 53%. At 6:42 a.m. ET on Saturday it was $0.307, about 20% below that peak and down 17.1% in 24 hours. It is still up 10.5% over seven days, and 98% below its $15.79 record from September 1, 2023.

Neither CoinGecko nor DeepSea data shows what started the move.

Where the trading happened

At 6:42 a.m. ET CoinGecko counted $74.3 million of CYBER volume in 24 hours, about four times its $18.7 million market value. About 61 million of the 100 million tokens are in circulation.

The busiest market was the CYBER/won pair on South Korea's Upbit, at $26.0 million. Binance's USDT pair followed at $10.7 million, then Bithumb's won pair at $5.8 million. The two Korean exchanges made up about 41% of the volume CoinGecko tracked.

CoinGecko lists only one Optimism DEX market for CYBER, a Uniswap V4 pool, with about $4 of daily volume, and DeepSea's own CYBER page for Optimism showed just $4.00 of liquidity at 6:47 a.m. ET. So most of the shark trading DeepSea logged on Optimism went through pools or routes CoinGecko does not track.

What the shark buying means

A token that trades several times its market value in a day can move hard both ways, as CYBER did. The shark buying on Optimism is small next to $74 million of exchange volume, but it shows some large on-chain wallets were net buyers over a day in which the price fell.

LC Insight analysis

This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.

  • We think the Korean won pairs are the main driver here: Upbit alone traded more than the token's entire market value.
  • The sharks' net $390,940 is real money but a small slice of the day's trading, so it is unlikely to have set the price.
  • Volume is already down by half from Friday's peak. If it keeps falling, the move may fade as fast as it came.

What's next

  • Whether CYBER volume on Upbit keeps falling toward last week's $5 million a day
  • Whether the five shark wallets sell what they bought
  • Any official statement from the Cyber team about the move
