A crypto trader just pulled off an insanely perfectly timed trade, pocketing a mind-blowing $81 million in profit. He bet against Ethereum right before Trump dropped a bombshell about new tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada. The market did exactly what you’d expect—ETH prices dropped, and this guy’s profits went through the roof.
The trader used 50x leverage, meaning a tiny 2% swing the wrong way could’ve wiped him out completely. But instead of crashing and burning, he hit the jackpot. It’s almost like he had a crystal ball telling him what was coming.
And if you think that’s just a lucky break, hold on. Back in March, one trader also made $6.8 million by going long on Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump’s “Crypto Strategic Reserve” announcement.
He had deposited $5.9 million, opened $200 million worth of leveraged positions, and then closed them right after Trump’s tweet, locking in massive profits.
That’s two perfectly timed trades, both placed just minutes before major government decisions went public. Naturally, people are suspicious. Some analysts are flat-out calling it insider trading, arguing there’s no way someone could be this lucky. Others think they might just have an uncanny ability to read the market.
Whatever the case, one thing is crystal clear—this trader just pulled off one of the most legendary crypto moves of the year, and the entire market is watching to see what he does next.
