What DeepSea's data shows

DeepSea's weekly report lists the Hyperliquid traders with the biggest unrealized gains, meaning profit on positions that are still open. Hyperliquid is a large exchange for perpetual futures (bets on price with no expiry date).

The leader, labeled SMc060, has an account worth $124.76 million holding $612.00 million of open positions, about 4.9 times its account value. It shows $10.71 million unrealized and $121.13 million of profit over 30 days. Second is SM6e36: a $105.01 million account, $438.52 million open, $9.97 million unrealized and $97.01 million over 30 days.

Together the top six winners show $42.27 million of unrealized profit. The whole group of 876 tracked traders shows minus $2.19 million, with 487 accounts in profit. DeepSea does not show which coins or sides these six wallets hold.

Who is near the edge now

A liquidation is when the exchange force-closes a leveraged bet because losses ate the margin. DeepSea lists SM5c34 with two shorts: $5.65 million of ether at 25x (liquidation at $2,360) and $5.76 million of SOL at 20x (liquidation at $100.04). At 12:39 a.m. ET on November 4, CoinGecko showed ether at $2,285.21, up 1.7% in 24 hours and about 3.3% below the liquidation price. SOL was $92.56, about 8.1% below.

SM6a52 holds a $2.52 million bitcoin short at 40x with liquidation at $79,480; bitcoin was $77,577. The report does not show whether any of these positions are still open today.

LC Insight analysis

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

  • We think the 30-day numbers matter more than this week's. SMc060 and SM6e36 made about $218 million between them in a month, which points to consistent trading, not one lucky bet.
  • The near-liquidation shorts show the risk of the crowd's bearish lean. If ether keeps rising, forced buying from shorts could push it further.
  • Paper gains are not profit yet. On books this leveraged, with SM7d72 running nearly 9.5 times its account value, open gains can shrink fast.

What's next

  • Whether SMc060 and SM6e36 lock in their paper gains
  • Ether near $2,360 and SOL near $100
  • SM7d2c's 40x bitcoin short
