Crypto Whale Who Made $200M From the October 10 Crash Bets $445M on Ethereum Upside
The crypto whale who accurately predicted the October 10 market crash and earned nearly $200 million from the downturn is now heavily betting on Ethereum’s upside.
Following the sharp sell-off last month, driven by escalating U.S.–China tariff tensions, the trader—known as “HyperUnit”—is once again making a bold move.
According to on-chain analytics platform Arkham, HyperUnit controls a massive crypto portfolio valued at around $10 billion and has significantly increased exposure to Ethereum, with holdings now reaching approximately $445 million.
Arkham data shows that the whale has been accumulating $ETH consistently over the past four days and is currently around breakeven on the position.
Notably, HyperUnit has been active in the crypto market for at least seven years. During the 2018 bear market, the trader accumulated roughly $850 million worth of Bitcoin, holding it through the cycle until its value surged to nearly $10 billion.
