Notable trades
HYPE
Nov 2024
~$91M at top
Rank 5 on the final points board, earned from December 2023 on about $300M of May 2024 perps volume and late-2024 meme market-making. Genesis credited 1,021,289 HYPE, about $4.3M at the TGE price of $4.17 and about $91.4M at HYPE's $89.49 top on 6 September 2026. The wallet holds about 152,000 HYPE today.
HYPURR
Sep 2025
~$1.65M at launch
Genesis NFTs distributed in September 2025; a Dune table listed his wallet with 18, about seventh by count. The wallet held 24 in September 2026. At the $68,900 launch floor that is about $1.65M; at the September 2026 floor near 273 HYPE, about $21,600 each, it is about $520k.
PURR
May 2024
~$2.68M at top
About 4 million PURR held through the May 2024 points season, when PURR traded between $0.09 and $0.15, then market-making the first Hyperliquid memes into TGE, PiP among them. At PURR's $0.67 top in December 2024 the bag was worth about ; at $0.106 in September 2026 it would be worth about $422k. He now holds 2.01M PURR spot, about $212k, and a 7.89M PURR 3x perp long from $0.0725, up about $262k.
Trading style
One venue, one coin. He trades almost only on Hyperliquid: spot, perps, the chain's memecoins, HyperEVM lending, HIP-3 equities and HIP-4 outcome markets. He farms the venue's incentives, holds the token, and borrows against HYPE rather than selling it, looping the loans back into more HYPE. Perps profits are swept into spot HYPE and a short list of ecosystem names, PURR, PiP and BRIDGE among them.
His stated rules are spot and chill and do not leverage. His own book runs up to 10x on HYPE and higher on majors, which he states openly.
Controversies
Did he sell the airdrop?
August 2025
On 31 August 2025 he wrote that he had held his HYPE airdrop this entire time and added to it. The wallet that received the 1,021,289 HYPE held about 152,000 in September 2026.
Between February and May 2025 it sent about 347,000 HYPE to two other wallets. By November 2025 it had bridged a net 1.28M HYPE to HyperEVM, and about 463,000 of that later left the address. Its ledger also implies about 364,000 HYPE sold on the exchange. None of the receiving wallets is publicly tied to him.
The profile's ~$80M estimate takes his word that the airdrop is still his. The wallet's own record supports about $28.7M.
