What DeepSea's data shows

DeepSea's KOLs & Sharks leaderboard ranks the wallets of crypto influencers (KOLs, or key opinion leaders) by profit and loss (PnL). On the 7-day view, read at 12:30 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026, the account DeepSea labels 2 freres 2 fauves is first at +$8.84 million. Second place, bizyugo.hl, is at +$2.86 million.

The wallet page lists one wallet, on Hyperliquid, a perpetual futures exchange (contracts with no expiry date). It shows +$10.73 million over 30 days, +$7.54 million over 90 days and $1.38 billion of total volume. DeepSea's risk check found no flags on the wallet.

Where the money sits

At 12:52 a.m. ET, DeepSea valued the wallet's holdings at $25.49 million. Almost all of it, $25.49 million as DeepSea rounds it, is USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. The rest is about $510 of PURR and a few dollars of other tokens.

In a perps account, cash is margin, the deposit that backs open trades. A big USDC balance shows the trader can bet large, not which way.

What it traded last

The newest orders were not in crypto at all. Shortly after midnight ET, DeepSea shows a cluster of sell-side orders in a market listed as xyz:SILVER, the three largest about $22,100 each. Small buy-side orders of about $12 each followed in xyz:COPPER. DeepSea also lists $6.46 million of recent perp volume.

On November 4, LC Insight reported that the same KOL opened $538,260 of silver shorts in DeepSea's live feed. The new orders are also sells, but DeepSea does not show whether they add to that short or how big it now is.

Why one wallet tilts the board

DeepSea's 7-day board lists 152 KOLs, 108 in profit and 44 in loss. Adding up the rounded figures, the winners made about $14.7 million. 2 freres 2 fauves alone is 60% of that.

The 90-day figure, $7.54 million, is lower than the 30-day one. That suggests it lost about $3.2 million in the two months before.

What it means for beginners

A leaderboard shows results after the fact. Copying a trader from it means entering later, at a different price, without knowing their exit plan. A wallet this size can also absorb losses that would wipe out a small account.

LC Insight analysis

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

  • We think the $25 million in USDC is the key detail: it is dry powder, and on Hyperliquid it can back trades in silver and copper as easily as bitcoin.
  • The board is lopsided. When one wallet makes 60% of a week's KOL gains, "KOLs made money this week" mostly means one trader did.

What's next

  • Whether the silver position grows or is closed
  • Whether the USDC balance stays near $25.5 million
  • Whether the wallet keeps first place on the 30-day board
