Using Reverse Copy Strategy, This Trader Profited 5.6 Million in 3 Days
One of the crypto traders in the market managed to make a profit of US$ 5.6 million. He used the reverse copy trading strategy of a great trader, James Wynn and managed to use it very well.
The action is similar to copy trading, only the steps taken are opposite to those observed by the trader. Copy trading itself is a common strategy used by traders by copying the trading positions of other traders. Through this mechanism, someone can choose which trader they want to copy and follow their position.
However, the trader with the address 0x2258 did not implement the strategy. Instead of following Wynn's position, he actually put his position in reverse. Lookonchain's report states that on May 24, 2025, when whale James Wynn put a long position on Bitcoin, he instead put a short position on BTC and Ethereum.
