One Monad wallet bought $2.38 million of ether. Its closed trades lost $1.15 million in 30 days

Every shark trade DeepSea logged on Monad in the last 24 hours came from one wallet. It bought wrapped ether and sold fixed-yield dollar tokens.

Key points

  • In the 24 hours to 12:38 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026, one shark wallet made all of DeepSea's Monad shark trades: $3.48 million bought, $1.77 million sold, 246 trades.
  • Its biggest buy was $2.38 million of WETH (wrapped ether), with $164,994 sold.
  • DeepSea's 30-day realized profit table puts the wallet at minus $1.15 million.

What DeepSea's data shows

DeepSea's live feed adds up trades by wallets it tags as sharks (large, active traders). LC Insight read it at 12:38 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026. On Monad, a newer blockchain, one wallet, 0xd5d9...eaee, made every shark trade in the 24-hour window. DeepSea gives it no name.

It bought $3.48 million and sold $1.77 million in 246 trades. The largest item was WETH, ether wrapped as a token: $2.38 million bought and $164,994 sold in five trades.

This is the same wallet we reported on November 4. At 12:35 a.m. that day, its 24-hour count showed $6.65 million bought and $9.03 million sold.

What it sold

The selling was mostly dollar tokens. It sold $257,085 of PT-srUSDat and $150,101 of PT-USDat, both maturing January 14, 2027. PT means principal token: it can be swapped for a set amount of an underlying token, here tokens with USD in their names, on a set date. It bought $119,980 of a similar token, PT-reUSD, due December 10, 2026. It also sold $318,623 of AUSD and bought $96,452, and traded about $856,000 of mUSD each way in 220 trades.

Its record

DeepSea's realized profit table counts closed trades only. Over 30 days the wallet is at minus $1.15 million, slightly worse than minus $1.12 million at 12:35 a.m. on November 4. Over seven days it is at minus $111,267, better than minus $891,949 a day earlier.

The numbers

The wallet's Monad trades by token, 24 hours to 12:38 a.m. ET, November 5, 2026.

Why it matters

When one wallet is the whole shark market on a chain, its moves are a view of one trader, not of Monad. In the last hour of our check it traded only mUSD: $6,506 bought, $7,572 sold. CoinGecko showed ether at $2,423.18 at 12:44 a.m. ET, up 5.7% in 24 hours, and Monad's MON at $0.0181, down 1.8%.

LC Insight analysis

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

  • We think the wallet swapped part of its fixed-yield dollar holdings into ether as ether rose. The feed shows the trades, not the reason.
  • Its 30-day record is a caution: being big and busy has not made it profitable on closed trades.

What's next

  • Whether the wallet keeps its WETH or sells it again, as it did on November 4
  • Whether any other shark starts trading on Monad
  • Its 30-day realized result on DeepSea
