The Hyperliquid Whale Revealed – Who is the Market Manipulator?
A $735 million short has shaken the entire market. Rumors immediately arose: “Is Trump Kid back?”
But on-chain data shows that the real culprit is even more noteworthy.
1️⃣ Huge whale wallet – and assets exceeding $7 billion
Data shows that the wallet address causing the storm is closely linked to a veteran whale who once held 100,000 $BTC.
Two months ago, this individual unexpectedly transferred $4.23 billion in $BTC to $ETH, then staked everything through wallet 0xBFBaEc, funded by ereignis.eth.
Currently, ereignis.eth is managing a huge asset portfolio:
- 46,000 $BTC ~ $5.2 billion
- 570,000 $ETH ~ $2.4 billion
- Over $160 million recently withdrawn from Hyperliquid.
A financial organization disguised as an individual investor
2️⃣ Clue about the true identity?
Wallet 0xb317 (shorting) received 40,000 $USDT from wallet 0x9536, and both lead to ereignis.eth – which points to account X @GarrettBullish.
Garrett is:
- Former Director at Huobi, CEO of BitForex – an exchange previously accused of manipulating volume and withdrawing user funds.
- Founder of WaveLabs VC, which invested in many now-defunct projects.
- Currently running XHash, a staking platform for $ETH for organizations.
His source of funds traces back to old $BTC wallets, withdrawn 7–8 years ago from Huobi, OKX, Binance — all remnants of Huobi & BitForex scams.
From a name that seemed to have disappeared, GarrettBullish returns as the “Hyperliquid Whale,” capable of shaking the entire market.
So, is the $4 billion transfer from $BTC to $ETH a reallocation strategy, or the largest money laundering operation in crypto?
