Notable trades
WLFI
Jan 2025
~$250M mark at open
About $15M into the first public World Liberty Financial sale in January 2025, 13M USDC and 2.01M USDT for 1B tokens, roughly 1.0% to 1.5% of supply, placed while the token was still described as non-transferable. At the 1 September 2025 open the position marked around $245M to $250M, with 200M tokens unlocked near $49M and 800M locked. A 2026 note recorded an exit from a 200.1M allocation after the price fell from the launch print.
XPL
Aug 2025
~$38M to $39M
About 54.4M XPL built across three wallets in $44k clips on Hyperliquid's pre-market perp, then a 15-second burst at $444k a clip with one print near $4.44M for 7.29M XPL, which he described as a mistyped order. XPL rose about 10.8% in a minute on that venue, with $159M of liquidations and $130M of open interest wiped across more than a thousand accounts. On-chain writeups put his take at $38M to $39M.
XPL
Sep 2025
~$41M on the leg
Funds split across more than 20 addresses, then about 45M XPL reopened at 1x near $0.77 and the perps closed near $1.30, with the proceeds moved into spot. Yu Jin put the leg near $41M floating and the month's XPL total near $80M.
HYPE
Apr 2026
~$194M at $81
About 2.4M HYPE accumulated near $12 through the wallet 0x316fC62528c317e569fE5Aa4Df6C1Af0c4F2e678. Lookonchain reported the full 2.39M HYPE, about $122M, withdrawn on 21 September 2025. OnchainLens flagged an unstake of 2.4M HYPE in April 2026 worth roughly $94M. One circulated reading of the days after had him selling $25k of HYPE, shorting $1k, going long $1k each of XRP and SOL, and restaking the rest. At $81 on 31 August 2026 that size marks near $194M against a cost near $28.8M, on the last reported balance rather than a confirmed one.
ETH
Oct 2025
~+$780k on the short
He was long BTC and HYPE into the 11 October 2025 crash, down about $2.46M on that attempt and about $3.65M on the week, then reversed into a 20x ETH short that was up about $780k.
PUMP
2026
~$2M
About $2M made on a PUMP long from 0x60B081Bd8Ee2b0e5A2B8f17503322Cf7eE7A991E. By 10 September 2026 a later 10x PUMP position stood about $1.45M in loss, alongside a 10x ZEC position about $350k down.
Trading style
Concentrated directional bets in perps and token sales, sized until he is a large fraction of the book.
Entries are one clip size repeated rather than one order, split across several wallets. He keeps leverage low once the position is on, and prefers pre-launch and pre-market books to presales, where thin depth and auto-deleveraging do the work leverage would.
Perp profit gets converted into spot. Since 2026 the book has been HYPE held and staked rather than the next squeeze, and he will reverse a directional position inside a week when the tape turns.

Connected to the original Inferno Drainer admin through Exolix, with a 50% chance of being that admin. One wallet shows the most Exolix deposits co-mingling with the Exolix intermediaries Inferno also used, and there are many others.
Among the largest holders of stETH in 2023, at 40K+, on a wallet carrying pulsechainbinance.eth. Sacrificed 4.6M to pulsechain.
TechnoRevenant and MoonManifest are recent entities, the TechnoRevenant Telegram created on 19 November 2024, with a good chance the same person ran the deleted entities trashbagscash in 2021 and 2022 and Ogfaraday in late 2023 and 2024. Comes out of trad-fi, British with 90% confidence, and lived in Asia for a long spell.
Disputed on 10 September 2026 by 0x4367…34e5: the wallet attributions are riddled with inaccurate assumptions. No single attribution is named.
0x5912…d578 on the 2017 and 2018 ICO buying
September 2026
2017. A year of buying traced to a single source wallet. The heaviest was Status in June, spread over 29 addresses, possibly that sale's largest investor. Also among the biggest buyers of the Binance ICO, with the proceeds sent on to Binance deposits; the combined biggest retail investor in Monetha in August; the biggest retail investor on Ethereum in ALIS in September. Smaller placings run through Tieron, a top 5, and Looping, a top 20, with Cosmos, iExec, Bancor, Coindash, District0x, Icon, Sun Contract, Cofoundit and Ethereum Name Service alongside them. Civic is attributed on timing alone, with no attribution found for it.
2018. The buying became pooled. Simon Leger, Sam Kim of Big Brain Holdings, Georgi Georgiev of Nalu Capital and Winslow Strong of Qualia Research are named as frequent co-investors that year, none of them appearing to work in the same place. The group is placed in the tZero pre-sale in January, and in a Lendingblock round that opened six days ahead of the public pre-sale. Thrive Capital, James Chi and Cahlan Sharpe are marked uncertain, and the 2018 material is still being worked through.
