Using Unconventional Methods, Small Trader Earns US$1.5 Million from US$6,800 Capital

A cryptocurrency trader managed to transform an initial capital of US$6,800 into a profit of US$1.5 million. This achievement has drawn attention because he contributed more than 3% of the maker-side liquidity on one of the major cryptocurrency exchanges, thanks to a rare yet effective strategy.

In the last two weeks, the account with an equity value below US$200,000 has recorded a total trade value of US$1.4 billion, making him one of the largest contributors to maker transaction volume.

Unlike most traders, he only fills one side of the order book at a time—never placing bids and asks simultaneously. This approach does open up a gap for more experienced parties to take advantage of, but he still manages to generate stable profits, with a maximum value drop of only 6.48%.

Additional income comes from maker rebates—an incentive or “cash back” from the exchange for liquidity providers. With fast high-frequency execution and careful order placement, he can profit even before factoring in price movements.

All his activities focus on perpetual futures contracts, without investing in the spot market or engaging in staking—characteristic of market making or high-frequency trading.

Currently, he holds a long position worth US$175,000 in perpetual Solana contracts against USDT, and a short position of about US$20,000 in Dogecoin.

This diversified strategy demonstrates his accuracy in reading the highly volatile cryptocurrency market. The community appreciates the consistency and discipline of this trader, even though he operates in a high-risk area.
