Key points

  • A shark wallet ending in 8771 booked $1,520,574 of realized profit on BNB Chain in 7 days, the most of the 640 wallet rows in DeepSea's PnL table on November 11, 2026.
  • It closed 3,619 trades in that week and 1,690 were winners, about 47%. Over 30 days it closed 14,154 trades for $1,432,794.
  • At 12:34 a.m. ET it sold 5 BTCB (Binance-Peg bitcoin) for $369,067, DeepSea's live feed shows.

What DeepSea's data shows

DeepSea's realized PnL table, built at 12:31 a.m. ET on November 11, lists the wallet ending in 8771 first for the week: +$1,520,574 on BNB Chain. The next best wallet made $419,576. Realized means profit on trades already closed, not paper gains.

The wallet traded hard to get there: 3,619 closed trades in 7 days, 1,690 of them winners. Over 30 days it closed 14,154 trades and 5,961 won, for +$1,432,794.

Its wallet page (DeepSea name Hold8771) updates every five minutes. At 12:56 a.m. ET it showed $4.30 million in total assets, +$1.48 million for 7 days, +$1.33 million for 30 days, a 41% win rate and 97,150 trades worth $1.25 billion in 30 days. The page counts every trade; the PnL table counts only closed ones.

Its other chains tell a different story. The same address is down $30,706 for the week on Optimism, $4,361 on Arbitrum and $1,639 on Avalanche.

DeepSea's live feed then logged a sale of 4.99999971 BTCB for $369,066.68 at 12:34 a.m. ET, about $73,813 per coin. Minutes earlier it had bought two small lots, 0.0617 BTCB ($4,553) and 0.0104 BTCB ($769). In the roughly six minutes the feed covers, it made 14 trades in BTCB, JCT, UAI, HUMA and ASTER: $436,336 sold and $15,867 bought.

Who this wallet is

DeepSea labels it a shark (a large, active wallet) and gives no owner name. New to the tools? Read what DeepSea is and how BNB Chain works. It is the wallet that bought $5.38 million of ether and $805,637 of JCT from another shark on November 8, as we reported then. At that time DeepSea counted 81,836 trades for it in 30 days.

How it made money while losing most trades

Realized profit counts only trades that are closed. This wallet won 1,690 of its 3,619 closed trades in the week, about 47%, so most of its trades lost money. It still finished $1,520,574 ahead because its winning trades were bigger, on average, than its losing ones.

The 30-day record shows the same pattern: 5,961 wins from 14,154 closed trades, about 42%, for a gain of $1,432,794. That monthly gain is smaller than the weekly one. So in the three weeks before this one, the wallet lost money overall, and the latest week did all the work.

What the explorer shows

The same address is active on OP Mainnet. Optimistic Etherscan showed 506.53 ETH (about $1.05 million) and about $1.80 million in 41 other tokens there at 12:50 a.m. ET, with 16,005 transactions. The explorer says it was first funded 43 days ago from a wallet it labels Bitget 5, an exchange address. That does not make Bitget the owner.

CoinGecko priced BTCB at $73,753 at 12:40 a.m. ET, down about 1.2% in 24 hours, so the sale price matches the market.

Why it matters

A $1.5 million week from thousands of small, fast trades looks like a trading operation rather than a long-term holder. Its sale of 5 BTCB is small next to that volume. The data shows trades and results, not motives.

LC Insight analysis

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

  • We think the win rate is the striking part: fewer than half its trades won, yet the week made $1.52 million. Its winners were bigger than its losers.
  • The weekly profit came almost all from BNB Chain. On three other chains the same address lost money, so its edge looks tied to one market.
  • One 5 BTCB sale says little about bitcoin's direction. For a wallet this busy, it may be routine inventory.

What's next

  • Whether the wallet keeps the top 7-day spot on DeepSea
  • Its BTCB and JCT trades in DeepSea's live feed
  • Its ETH balance on OP Mainnet
